Reading Nook

Are you a book lover?  I am.  I love to find a good Christian fiction book, full of suspense, intrigue and a little romance…all the while enjoying the back story line that involves God and how he works in our lives.  I think that our baby girl is going to be the same way, if her brother will let her finish a book that is!

Our baby girl has been interested in books for the last 6 months or so.  She is now 15 months old and she will go get any book, sit down wherever she is and start looking through it.  Sometimes upside down, but she is turning pages and getting the idea…so I figure that is good…whether it is upside down or not.

Well, just like her mommy she likes to sit and enjoy her books without being disturbed.  That is hard to do when your brother constantly comes over and bats at your book or takes it away completely.  For Luke I think it is just his natural instinct that whatever sister has, he should have… since he does this with anything she has whether it is a book or a Lego.  But for our baby girl, when her brother takes a book it is the ultimate crime.  She screams louder than ever if Luke takes away her precious book. 

The other day she found the ultimate “reading nook”.  Want to guess?  It isn’t a chair or a corner like you might think.  When the Step 2 wagon we have, that is usually full of toys, is empty she will crawl in and sit down and start looking through her book!  I couldn’t help but laugh the first time I saw this. 

It is amazing but Luke tends to leave her alone when she is in the wagon.  Once and a while he’ll try to take away her book or books, but usually he will leave her alone…or even give her another book!  It is amazing what our kids come up with!
