Elaine the Bookworm

I mentioned before that Elaine is turning into quite the bookworm.  Before you think of having a seat on our couch, you should consider that you may not get up for some time.  Let me warn you that Elaine will spot your relaxed position and peaceful moment out of the corner of her eye.  Then, before you know what is happening, in a flash she will be in your lap with a story to read.  And you can never read just one!

Last week I walked into the kitchen to find this:

Yes…that is Elaine.  She is reading my cookbook!  She just can’t stand to leave any books alone!

This morning I returned from the kitchen to find this:

Elaine loves this bouncy seat.  She considers it her own personal recliner, I think.  She has several Dr. Seuss (by far her favorite author!) books in her lap.

But wait!  Let me zoom out a little bit!

She had been doing quite  a lot of reading in my absence!

Let this be a warning to the grandparents…stock your house with lots of books before we come to visit!
