Ohh.. Where Da Books?

Megan is always amazing and puzzling us with the things that she finds around the house to entertain herself. For the last two weeks, she has chosen a set of Winnie the Pooh chunky board books to be those items. They’re not something new she got for Christmas but a set of books I got her at a garage sale when she was about four months old! One day she discovered them in a toy box and has been collecting/carrying them around ever since. At first she just stacked them up and tried to pick the stack of 7-9 books up at one time. What a load for little hands! Mama to the rescue – we got a small fabric bag to hold them all.

So now Megan has a black bag to tote around everywhere she goes, just like Mommy’s purse. Megan likes to bring it when we leave the house – even brought it into the grocery store on Saturday with me. (How we managed to get to church without them is beyond me.) She has to hold onto the bag when we are reading bedtime books at night and then it also goes into the crib with her when she has naps and goes down for the night. It is so cute going into her room when she calls for us in the morning because she already has her arm through the handles like she’s ready to go.

My absolute favorite is when she has gone some time without them and then suddenly remembers them. She will exclaim, “Ohh…. Where da books?” Saturday morning she and I were walking down the stairs to see Daddy before he left for work and she made the same exclamation. Some kids have their blankies, dollies, or stuffed animals. Not our little one. She finds comfort in her bookbag full of books!
