This little "peanut" regularly spends her time reading alone. It's an adorable discovery to find her off by herself, in her alcove, sitting below her bookshelf with several books tossed aside after her reading. Our hope is that she'll be as diligent a reader as two of her older cousins (British = 24 & Tor-Tor = 13). Both are marvelous students and have occasionally been chided for hiding away in their respective bedrooms for hours enjoying quality literature.Most days she carting books about the small condominium, reading to herself and slamming the books to the floor. While others, she'll drag a book up to you, and ask you to read it to her. Surely she's not the only child that has this practice, yet she's the one who sleeps in our home. I'm so very grateful that this has manifested itself so early, and that Carter's Mother has so quickly embraced it. On a weekly basis new books appear, and though I tease her Mother about it, I know very, very well it'll form her future.
It's an honor to find our little girl already quietly indulging in the activity which those who've accumulature magnificent successes in the world do regularly, reading.
