When it comes to my daughter - when you get that worrying silence and you wonder off to see what mischief is occurring - 9 times out of 10 she is just sat with a pile of books. She goes into her own world and is completely engrossed.
Word of warning... never start a book with her and don't finish it . This will lead to lots of tears. Also don't expect her to move, answer you or hurry out the door while she is pretending to read. It is much easier to let her carry on and just lift her up and put her somewhere else. She won't even notice.
Hence this photo from our holiday to Loch Lommond, she had been happily 'reading' on the bench... so rather than attempt to remove the book - up and off she goes and everyone is happy!!
This is our entry into this weeks gallery , head over to the sticky fingers blog and check out the others.
We love Alfie - particularly the one about the owl!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that one will have to look it up! Her favourite is the one about the water leak! X
DeleteBrilliant! That could have proved quite problematic if it had covered his eyes though! :D
ReplyDeleteHa ha! She often hold his nose while on his shoulders so this is a breeze!
DeleteCute. I was a proper bookworm as a child, but for some reason my eldest son would rather do something else. Sign of the times to some extent, but a real pity.
ReplyDeleteThey are all different, I don't think I was much of a bookworm as a child but I am told my sister was x
DeleteIt's great to have a book worm.
ReplyDeleteIt is, it's great how much she gets from her books x
