Naptime Reading

 

When it's time for Stella to take a nap or go to bed for the night, I lie down next to her and nurse her to sleep. I've did this with each of the other kids, when they were babies/toddlers. They seem to benefit from it greatly, and so do I: I get to read many, many books. In the past few weeks, I've read the bottom three (at 1:30 this morning, I finished Ethan Frome: a sad story, but worth every moment of sorrow). This evening, I started in on Remarkable Creatures, which was a Christmas gift from my lovely friend Anne.
