For the love of books...

Conner has always loved books. When he was just a few months old he would sit on my lap and read story, after story. After he turned 1 and was talking he was memorizing books. And over the past year I've found him with a stack of books, flipping page after page, book after book. I love it!

Biruk on the other hand took a little longer to appreciate them. I think it was around 10 months when he finally would sit still long enough for a quick read. And slowly, he's learned to enjoy them as much as Conner. And now I find Biruk, sitting with Conner, a pile of books between them.

And the littlest of all, has loved them for only one reason; to pull them all off the bookshelf. I take that back, 2 reasons. He used to enjoy eating them. But something happened today. He kept bringing Nathan book, after book, to read to him.

Finally, I have 3 little boys who enjoy reading time. I couldn't be happier. And today I got to enjoy this view...
