Last week M was demanding I read to him constantly; like, read the same book 5 times, I tell him "no more" so he gets another book... that I read 5 times, etc.
I assumed it was because I'd been hobbled by stepping on one of his toys, but I'm back to normal and able to do other things now and he still wants to be read to all day long.
Any other book lovers?
Re: Voracious reading
Delaney has become like this over the past few weeks - it's like a switch got flipped. I mean, before she would tolerate books and sit with me if I read them to her - but now, she is grabbing the books and looking through them herself of will bring them to us and sit on our lap for us to read to her. She also has a bookshelf in her room and we will sit in the rocking chair at bedtime and read a book - then she hop off my lap and grab another book...lather, rinse, repeat....after about 4-5 books, I put her down for bed.
It really makes me so happy how much she loves books

Yeah, M went through a phase of not even being allowed to touch his paper books because he'd tear them, and he even destroyed several board books. I now keep a stash in a crate out oh his reach on a bookshelf and only bring down a few books at a time.
He has a few favorites and lets me know what he wants, but sometimes it takes a while too interpret what he thinks they're called. Hairy Maclary being "rarararee." Obvious once you realize, but a head scratcher at first.
