...You know, that doesn't sound too bad

...I like to teach? [It's something they have in common.

He smiles proudly, crossing his arms over his chest.] Starting to. He's the only child in his daycare who can read along during story time. [Reid, JJ, Will, and Garcia all obsessively reading to him probably helped.]

FLIRTATIOUS BARRAGE

And I like to learn.

[There, see, now he's opening up. Excellent.]

When does he get his first Holmes novel?

[Your plan is working, Carmen. Only an entire reworking of his self-image to go.]

I was thinking his fourth birthday. He'll probably want me to read it to him, but I plan on making him try to solve the mystery himself. [Yes, he has put thought into this. Because he is that into the idea of helping raise his godson. (You should have seen him when Henry was still a baby. So much cooing to be had. SO MUCH COOING.)] He's smart enough to.

[MISSION: ACCEPTED.]

I'd recommend starting with A Scandal in Bohemia. But it might endear him more to the good Mr. Holmes if you pick one where the detective comes out ahead in the end. A Study in Scarlet would be the logical choice, but not if you want him to have enough clues in the narrative to solve the mystery himself. The Copper Beeches, possibly.

I'll keep all that in mind. I'll probably talk to his parents before I choose and make sure they're comfortable with him reading whatever I'm thinking of. They can be a little careful about what they expose him to sometimes, since they're both in law enforcement. [Protect the child's innocence as long as possible, and protect him from the darkness you see every day. Reid can understand that.]

Coworkers of yours, I presume?

His mother, JJ, has been my teammate for eight years. His father, Will, used to be in the New Orleans police department, but then he moved to DC to live with JJ and Henry, so he currently works in the local police department. You'd probably like him, actually. He's a detective.

I do have more criteria for likeability than just "a detective", you know.
