Reading monster

Paige has always loved books - but in the last week or so she's developed even more of a passion for them. Combined with her increasing walking coordination, that means she now no longer is content to simply throw all the books off the shelf. No, now she selects a few to throw off the shelf... and then picks them up and brings them to the closest available reader, and plunks herself down for a story. (Or climbs on the couch for a story -- all depends on where the reader may be!)



It's very sweet, and I'm thrilled by her early love of books (long may it continue)... but sometimes wish she wouldn't get so stuck on the same book. As cute and well written and illustrated and clever as they are, it's a little hard to maintain enthusiasm for Each Peach Pear Plum and Moo Baa La La La when you're reading it for the 17th time in a row that morning...

Suppose I shouldn't complain too much - and just be happy she'll sit still for that long!
