Putting the books away

I was cleaning the den the other day, and handed Everett some books to put away. He said, "I'll read them." I looked out to see this:

He read all three books to Maddie and Gwyn. (He isn't reading yet, but he knows these books pretty well.) It's nice to freeze these moments on camera. I guess I should probably photograph some frowns and pouts too, but these are the things I savor.

Books

We LOVE books at our house! Cary and I have hundreds (including a large collection in French), and the childrens' collection is growing as well. The kids like to EAT books...

I have heard of many uses for duct tape, but I find that I use packing tape a lot! Aside from the normal uses (such as sealing packages), I have repaired many books with that stuff, and it's the preferred tape for diaper turban prevention measures!

PS - Although Lana does not enjoy consuming many solid foods, she does seem to have a taste for cardboard, paper, and candy wrappers!
