Reading with Eleanor

Reading is by far Eleanor's favorite activity. She loves it when one of us sits there with her and she hands us books out of the basket. With each book she'll turn the pages and listen either for the whole book, or just for a page or two before going back to the basket. When we finish a book she'll either turn back to the basket or tap the book, meaning she wants to read it again. Today I read one book to her 7 times in a row until I just couldn't take it anymore! I love watching her turn pages and occasionally smile at the pictures.

For some reason this little Winnie the Pooh book fascinates her. I think it's just the size of the book because she doesn't really let me read it to her - she just wants to hold it.

After over 30 minutes of reading, here's where the books stand: books we read (some over and OVER again) on the left, reject books on the right.

She loves it when I buzz like the bees in Winnie the Pooh! Oh, and there is a budding little tooth under that finger!
