I love my little poppies to the moon and back, but I am also a huuuuuge fan of bedtime. By the end of the day, I am usually tuckered out and ready to veg on the couch with a good book…in silence. And then, in an hour or two, I head upstairs to my room for…

My mother always says that one of my very first words was “bookie” for book, and that I would follow her around the house, with book in hand, chanting, “Booooookie-bookie-bookie-bookie!“ I don’t recall learning how to read, but I know…

As I’ve mentioned before, Leo never, ever, ever, ever stops moving. This includes reading. He is always reading on the go!       This is us, leaving the library heading to pick up dinner.   I also found this gem of a video from when Leo first started reading, a couple years ago: Can anyone else out…
