BOOKS!

Helen loves books. She always has. She has books in every room of the house (except the kitchen) that she looks at all the time. She has recently enjoyed looking through the phone book. Today she spent about 10 minutes just flipping through it seeing what was in there. I had to take it away from her eventually though because she figured out the pages are easy to rip out. I really don't care if she rips them out but we are trying to teach her to be gentle with the pages so I had to take it away from her and give her one of her board books. Luckily she was just as happy with the replacement book.

Today we were reading her "Little Feet Like.." book. It is a touch and feel book. She doesn't use her feet though, she uses her hands. Today however when we got to the page about how little feet like warm sand (it has a square of sand paper to feel) she didn't use her hand to feel it, she decided to lick it. We read the book a few times, each time she would feel all of the things with her hand until we got to the sand paper and she would lick it.
