"peek-a-boo puppy"...again?

our daughter has become a complete bibliophile. it was bound to happen. we've been reading to her since she was in utero. she sees her mom reading. and her dad...well her dad is found quite often with a book in hand, reading a snippet here and a snippet there between diaper changes, fixing lunch, and playing hide-and-go-seek.

so molly's absolute favorite thing (along with anything that gets her outside and, of course, the dog) is reading books. she brings them over and places them on your lap, or in your hand, or drops them on your foot - whatever necessary action to ensure you know it's time to read. she'll sometimes stand next to you, and sometimes she'll sit in your lap to read (my favorite of course).

for some of her favorite books, she knows what's coming and will prepare in some way. the book that has the little boy blowing out a candle, the page before she starts pursing her lips and blowing. the book where the piggy munches his lunch (and mom and dad "munch" molly whenever we get to that part), she starts giggling the closer you get to the page. and in her current fav book, called Dogs, a present from Grandma Mike, she knows what's coming on every page and finds the whole thing very exciting!

and the minute your done, she eagerly signs "more, more" and you start all over again! here is a slideshow of her reading Dogs with her dad.



happy reading everyone!
