Joy and I were laying on the couch trying not to be sick when we noticed a sound coming from around the rocking chair. I was perfectly placed to get these two videos.
Joy tells me this is not the first time. He regularly practices his consonants and vowels over a few books.
It makes a couple nerds very proud to see their son trying to read. The book he grabbed (Goldilocks told as a poem involving discussion of good manners) isn't even one we have read to him before and is rather heavier on words than pictures compared to standard 15-month-old fare.

What I really came to see was
Cuter Every Day
Hyrum's favorite phrase since I came back from Nigeria is "We're all together again!" He says it every morning when we wake up and every day when I come home from work. "We're all together again!"
-----
After playing a game where characters were named Red, Blue, Yellow, etc.
"Daddy, you're Blue. I'm Red. [a little later] ... So, Daddy. Oops, I called you Daddy. I'm sorry."
You can call me Daddy as much as you like.
"I can call you *Blue* as much as I like."
-----
"Mommy, feed me breakfast."
Hyrum, will you feed me breakfast?
"Mommy, feed ME breakfast."
Yes. I will feed you breakfast. Then will you feed me breakfast?
"No. You can make breakfast for yourself."
O-ho-ho! And when will you be able to make breakfast for yourself?
"... When I'm five. But I'm three."

Very Cute I love it
That was fun to watch. It's fun to hear him jabbering.
Wow! Is it as obvious to you-all as it is to me that he's "reading" "Is Your Mama a Llama?"
It's that "OOOooohhh, I see!" that's the real giveaway.
Take it from me, it doesn't get ANY better than this!
OK, Hyrum: the race is on! Can you beat my record?
You've got until next Easter, by which time you must:
1. Choose a #1 FAVORITE book
2. Get your folks to read it to you SO MANY TIMES that you actually MEMORIZE it WORD-FOR-WORD!
3. Then, at an Easter party, you must ask someone to read your favorite book to you, at which time you will AMAZE them when you appear to READ IT TO THEM *WORD PERFECT* turning the pages at the right places, etc.
(That's what *I* did with "'Twas the Night Before Christmas' when I was 25 months old.)
Can you beat me, Hyrum?
(I wouldn't be surprised!!)
