We peeked around the corner and saw the most beautiful sight we would see all day (maybe all week). Our little boy was hiding out in his tee-pee, escaping the hustle and bustle of kitchen clean-up, to read. Oh. my. word.
We sat and stared as he turned the pages of one book, finished it, threw it to the side, started another, pointed at some words, started counting (1, 2..., 1, 2...) and our hearts exploded.
Why hasn't anyone figured out how to freeze time? All I ever wanted was sitting right there. In this tee-pee. So innocent and absolutely adoring all his books.
You couldn't have asked for a better moment! My son sneaks off to do the same!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing a mama, teacher, and this librarian could want in a toddler moment. May his love of books be lifelong!
ReplyDeleteThis post is so touching - you must be so proud to see reading coming to life at home!
