Book Worm

Catherine has never really liked books.  She's incredibly different than Daniel in that respect. Daniel enjoyed books, even really long books, from the time that he was probably 4 or 5 months old.  Catherine has never (and I really do mean never) sat down and listened to an entire book with me without trying to get up, eat the book, tear the book, etc.  Her attention span isn't exactly long.  Hello, David's daughter. 

But the day after she turned one, I had some books sitting on the floor.  She picked up a touch and feel one about puppies, brought it to me, sat in my lap, and let me read the whole thing!  Again, and again, and again, and again!  She even barked like a puppy after I did and bounced up and down excitedly when I'd say, "Come and play with the puppies!" 

Since then she's been bringing me books fairly often.  Her favorites are the puppy one and Llama llama nighty night.  :)
