This is what I saw last night about 40 minutes after we put Claire to bed. Every (and I mean every) book from her bookshelf was on her bed and she was laying on top of them reading. She loves to pull her books off the shelf and I have to pick them up on a daily basis but they are usually just on the floor next to the shelf. When I cleaned up the books I found both of her purses, her new lipstick, 3 watches and 3 of her princess wands under the books. We are trying to potty train her again and got her the potty watch so yesterday the music went off so I had her go sit on the potty then I got distracted and forgot she was back there (mom of the year) I walked back there after about 15 minutes and she was sitting on the potty reading books happy as could be...and of course didn't go.
OK one more book story....this morning after breakfast she went back to her room (usually she goes back to play with her vanity) but when I walked by her room she was laying in bed reading a book. A girl after my own heart. I would have loved to crawl back in bed today to read.
P.S. She obviously can't really read...she just looks at the pictures :)

At least she is content to look at the pictures. Emilee is constantly following me around with books and saying "Mommy, read me." I give in frequently and would love to more, but unfortunately I have to do other things.
Isn't it great to have a kid who loves to "read," even if they can't read yet? Parker's favorite things are books, his favorite being his paperback Book of Mormon that he takes everywhere. =) I think that one of the greatest things we can do as parents is to teach our children to love to read. Looks like you're doing a great job with Claire!
Carson used the potty watch...love the potty watch! It's one of those "why didn't I think of that?" And as for reading, keep it up! I make constant trips to the library to keep Eliza and Ethan reading. They can't get enough!
On a cloudy day there is nothing I would love more than to curl up with a mug of hot chocolate and a good book. Good for Claire.
