Mallory loves to read. No really, LOVES to read. I can’t even begin to tell you how many books we read each day. Or how many books I have memorized because we read them so many times.
My favorite is when Mallory reads them on her own. When she reads them out loud. I can’t get enough of it. It turns me into mush.
Today I was vacuuming and when I headed with the vacuum to her room I found her on her floor with a book. She was laying on her belly reading her book. I stopped the vacuum and ran for the camera. When I got back she was on her back with her feet on the wall.
At first she was particular to her books. She would only sit still and listen to her favorites. Now she will sit and listen to any book!
She ran off to get another one from the shelf.
Came back and laid back down with her new book and read some more.
You can about imagine what it is like to take her to the library. She is hard on her library books though. Our last trip to the library – we weren’t home for 5 minutes with her new books and she accidently tore one of the pages. I’m an expert at taping pages back together to look like nothing happened. : )
I love that she likes to read so much. It makes me so excited for chapter books and reading them together. Beverly Cleary here we come! : )
When she is like this – playing independently – it makes me so proud. Yet, I just want to go snuggle her and bother her. : )
While I was taking a break snapping pictures of Mallory in her room – I decided to tackle some much needed closet organization. Check out these boots!! Are they not adorable? Um… well… Mally won’t wear them! Plus, I can’t get them on her. She has thick chubby feet and feet that will not go into boots. I’ve tried many boots – ones that zip, ones that slip on… nothing fits! No matter what size!
While organizing and sorting out all the items I never used and will never use… I found our hospital bracelets and her nuk from the hospital!
I thought maybe if I took a picture of them then I could throw them away. Didn’t work. I put them back in the drawer. : )

And soon, she can read to baby brother! Blessings!!!
Lauren was the same way with books - that is too funny!! One time we were driving home from my parents house and there was awful traffic from this ice storm. It took us 3 hours to get home. So, to keep her happy while we sat there, I recited all her favorite books to her! I had read them so many times, I had them memorized!! And it worked - she stayed happy until she fell asleep in her carseat...haha!
I certainly hope you've introduced Mallory to the Fancy Nancy books. They're a must for every little girl!
