you can see from this picture what bean's favorite activity is- even when on vacation at the beach. this child LOVES books. they are her favorite things. she could easily spend 30 minutes by herself looking at books. the only bad part is that she does not like her books to be put away. she wants them all over the floor and furniture for easy access. it is amazing that none of us has broken a leg slipping on books left in the middle of the kitchen floor!
a fun story from vacation (that i sadly have no photo to accompany)...
we (bean, my brother, my mom, and i) were walking on the beach. my brother grabbed a stick and started writing in the damp sand. bean watched very closely. my mom came over and slowly spelled out bean's name. bean got excited, ran and got her own stick and proceeded to try to write her name all by herself. she very carefully made 6 vertical lines in the sand (yeah, for those of you who know her real name, she does only have 5 letters in her name but she's 2 and doesn't spell very well! ha!) each time she made a line she would say a letter that is in her name. now, they weren't in the right order but she only used letters that really are in her name. it was very cute. she was very proud. i'm going to try to get her to "write" again so i can take a picture.
hope you all have a great weekend. ours will be busy, as usual!

That is so precious, with the baby in her lap! Nadia's such a busy girl, she hasn't had time for sitting still with books - untul recently, and I'm so glad to see her developing a love of reading!
Adam saw this picture and said "(name he calls her)... book...at library?" He was very concerned that she was at the library without him. Because he then asked to take a car ride to the library. lol poor kid, misses his woman! lol
Aww cute little reader, my eldest is like that to and can spend hours being read to. I love how she tried to write her own name
That is TOO CUTE! May her love of books continue!
