London Eli Scout

#1,278

And another reason that I love this kid . . . .

Making the rounds after 10:00 p.m. last night,

I spied a little extra light shining by the reading chair in our bedroom.

And in that chair,

curled up and cozy,

sat my London Eli Scout

reading Roald Dahl’s novel

Fantastic Mr. Fox.

No, I did not tell her that it was too late to be reading.

No, I did not tell her to skedaddle on to bed.

I just smiled at her.

Kissed her head.

And asked,

“Can I come join you?”

    Oh, I'm so excited! Liam is just on the cusp of being able to run and grab any old book he wants to read! I can't wait for him to discover worlds waiting for him without the external entertainment of anything electronic. So precious! And what a great choice!

      It really is so fun. And impressive for Liam too – I am still struggling with Mosely's reading.
      But one day – I know it will happen.

    Just love this! I remember doing this when I was a kid too. Sneaking a book with a flashlight late at night.
    I still do it.
