Reading Chairs

IT WAS NOT LONG AGO THAT THE LITTLE LADY'S "CHARLIE" CHAIR WAS USED PRIMARILY AS A PLACE FOR SLOUCHING.  AND, WHILE THE NICKNAME "CHARLIE" NEVER CAUGHT ON, THE LITTLE LADY'S AFFECTION FOR THE CHAIR GREW AND GREW.

IT HAS BECOME ONE OF HER FAVORITE SPOTS TO READ.  AND, BOY DOES THIS LITTLE LADY LOVE TO READ HER WAY THROUGH STACKS OF BOOKS.

THANKFULLY, AUNTIE DAWNIE PURCHASED THE LITTLE MAN A CHAIR OF HIS OWN FOR HIS FIRST CHRISTMAS.  AND, BECAUSE MIMICKING HIS SISTER IS ONE OF HIS FAVORITE ACTIVITIES, YOU CAN FIND HIM PLOPPING DOWN WITH A GOOD BOOK EVERY NOW AND THEN.

THE LITTLE LADY WELCOMES ALL TYPES OF BOOKS.

BUT, GREATLY ENJOYS "LITTLE MARY VIRGINIA" BOOKS (AKA - BOOKS THAT ARE SMALLER IN SIZE)

WE LOVE TO HEAR HER READ ALOUD, CREATING STORIES WITH THE OCCASIONAL FINGER LICK AS SHE TURNS THE PAGE.  (YOU MIGHT GUESS WHERE SHE PICKED UP THAT HABIT.)

THE LITTLE MAN'S READING PREFERENCES ARE A TAD STRONGER, FAVORING TRANSPORTATION AND CONSTRUCTION THEMES.  I KID YOU NOT, THE FIRST TIME I READ CONSTRUCTION COUNTDOWN TO HIM, HE DEMANDED THAT I READ IT FOUR MORE TIMES.   I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM RESPOND TO A BOOK IN THAT WAY.  I MIGHT HAVE ALREADY ORDERED A COPY FOR HIM ON AMAZON.

IT DIDN'T TAKE US LONG TO LOCATE THE SHAKER HEIGHTS PUBLIC LIBRARY AND SIGN UP FOR A LIBRARY CARD.

Let books be your dining table,

And you shall be full of delights

Let them be your mattress

And you shall sleep restful nights.
