Up, up we go

Mack finished her Kindergarten book before Christmas so today I took to the park and then to Barnes and Noble to pick out a new one. Flipping through various kindergarten books, I quickly realized that Mack is ready for the next level up! So we swiped up two reading books and a math book and then I let Mack roam free through the books. I will never forget the sight of her, flitting through the children's section, scooping up books by the dozens. If I had a million dollars right then, I would have bought her every last book there. She must have whispered " I just wish I could have all of them" five times before we left. I understand that feeling, too, and often have to fight that urge myself. She settled on a snakes and reptiles book she found in the bargain area and has already had it read to her twice. I just can't get enough of that little girl.
