Charlotte's new love

Charlotte's new favorite thing is pulling all the books off the shelf. She loves to look at them and eat them and even rip them. I try to keep her confined to the board books, but every once in awhile she will break into Gavin's section and try and rip out pages. She really seems to like looking at the pictures. Gavin didn't want anything to do with books until he was much older. Charlotte will even sit for a little while and let me read to her, until she decides she's rather eat the book, of course.

What a cutie! How can she get in trouble with that mischievous little smile?!? :) That's AWESOME that she's interested in books. Clive wasn't for the longest time UNTIL I figured out which books he loved (machines, trucks, and baby faces). Chloe always loved books regardless of the subject matter. But now they both come running when I say it's time to read!

By the way, have you read "The Read Aloud Handbook"? I'm only at the beginning but already reaping the benefits of his read-aloud treasury list at the end.

haha- cute! Maddy just pulled all of Tim's books off of his shelf the other day (fortunately while he was at work ;) - I told her no no right away and moved her to her toys - uh oh!
