And he doesn't care what you're doing when he does it either! I was reading something on my phone at dinner the other day and Shane started to read to me.
I like Shane reading. What I really wanted to do in that moment was finish what I was reading before he interrupted me, but I didn't want to discourage him either.
So I said, "Sure" (in a slightly surly tone that slipped right past him) and decided to see how long Shane would read aloud.
He didn't stop. Shane finished one chapter and then started another. And then another.
They were short chapters, but after 9 of them Carrie got frustrated, because Shane wasn't eating his dinner!
Shane gets some words wrong, but what he does right is adding emotion to what he's reading. He likes to add sound effects, makes voices, and inject dramatics.
Maybe Shane will want to be a narrator one day. I used to read aloud to him, but nowadays it's mainly lots of audiobooks (Basically, every other time we're in the car).
But it's reading. I'd prefer if Shane could do it quietly, but reading is reading. Shane doesn't pick up on any cues when I want quiet, but on the flip side of that he doesn't seem to pick up the cues for when I'm not paying attention, either!
