The Littlest Bookworm

Of the Bell family at least. This is Grace's newest favorite activity, and much easier on Mama than emptying the changing table! We keep a basket of books next to the glider in her nursery, and she'll pull herself up on the basket and then stand there taking the books out one by one. She'll spend 15 minutes at a time just sitting in the floor flipping pages back and forth. Sometimes she'll open one book, stare at a page intently, then grab another and quickly flip through a page or two, then move on to a third. I could swear she's searching for something sometimes! And other times she'll sit with the same book flipping through the pages; we'd think she was a genius early reader, if it weren't for the book being upside down.
