– When the present that gets used most ( and the one she get a most excited about ) is the Kindle
– When you are chatting away and she says, ‘Can I read, please’, silently willing you to leave her to read in peace.
– When you find her grabbing hold of a book as soon as any journey starts.
– When the only thing she really, really wants is the set of Enid Blytons that she doesn’t have or the new David Walliams. All Christmas present hints were about books.
– New clothes get a once over before going back to the book she was engrossed in.
– While she couldn’t care less about which clothes she wears, she wants to carry her book or Kindle wherever we go.
– When you find books in every part of the house and the rear seat of the car. It takes a lot of threats to get them tidied up, and then a lot of time gets spent putting the books in the bookshelves because each book has to be grouped together within relevant sections!
– When going to sleep gets delayed because one more page is begging to be read.
And yet, I wouldn’t have it any other way!
caution about night-time reading:
blue light from any light-emitting screen can be harmful
(guy here spoiling ladies’ discussion)
I’ve read this and we primarily read books or the kindle without the backlit display for night time reading
How awesome is that! You must be so proud of her.
I’m just so glad that she enjoys reading so much!
Hehe.. Smitha, you know you sound like SUCH a proud mom 😀 You’re loving these habits of hers, aren’t you?
So glad she is such a reader… Totally knwo what you mean when you say you wouldnt have it any other way..
I am, Pepper, mainly because it is so much fun discussing books with her, and the joy of seeing her enjoy some of the books I read as a child is great. Plus, it makes her very low maintenance 😉 give her a book and she’s happy waiting in queues, waiting rooms.. etc
Awesomeeee. .God bless the little one.
