Every morning - before I hop in the shower - I pick out 5 books for Sophie. When I tell her that I am picking out 5 books her eyes start to twinkle ( before bed it's "only 2"). I carefully choose books with pictures that have interesting things to look at and that are about a wide variety of subjects so that she won't get bored. Then she sits cuddled in my bed with the reading lamp on and slowly makes her way through her little stack of books. It struck me this morning that this might be my idea of a perfect morning and Sophie gets to do it every day. It's a good life.
