that's my girl

madelyn couldn't stop reading for lunch and asked to bring her book to the table (we don't normally allow toys or books at the table when food is present). seeing her using the plate to keep her book open and her other hand to pick up her sandwich reminded me of how i used to (and still do) keep reading.

unfortunately she wasn't willing to let me take a good photo. although she did ask to see it after i took it which is why she smiled in this one.

it is fun to see her really try to read now. she asks me each word she can't remember and tries to read to mason. i say "tries" because she wants to sit next to him and read so that he can see the book but then gets upset when mason just grabs it and tries to put it in his mouth. love.
