Jo Rules: Books are the Best

Jo loves books. She's a little obsessive. In the mornings she gets dressed first and I will often put her on my bed with several books to entertain her while I throw on some clothes.
This morning was one of those days.

She will happily 'read' aloud for quite some time. Once she is done with any particular book it gets launched across the bed in favour of the next. Most of the time the books are now the right way up. It was darling when she used to read them upside down.
She will transport books around the house in order to get you to read them to her. She will follow you, book in hand and she can be persistent. We literally have her books in every single one of our 5 rooms. Sometimes, if your reading isn't satisfactory, she will wrench the book from you and begin the process herself.
One of her favourite books at the moment is "Hand, Hand, Finger, Thumb." We can recite it without even opening the book. She calls it the 'dum dum' book because of the drumming involved in its pages. She also really likes "Time for Bed" and requests it by saying 'mouse' over and over because the first characters to appear are the mouse and they are also featured on the back cover.
All books are called "a book" and they are frequently the first thing requested upon waking up in the morning or from a nap.
She also really likes the advent books we are working through. I've had to take measures to secure the bag they are kept in because she will go and help herself to a new book whenever she feels like it throughout the day.
I hope the love sticks. She does have readers on both sides of her family so I'm optimistic. The wonderful world of books awaits! I am looking forward to a day when they will either stay in, or at very least return to, her room.
