Boundaries in Marriage - the Kids Version

In her desperation to be a big girl, Madeline's latest hobby is reading my books. Ya know, non-picture books. The boring ones.

So I wasn't surprised when she picked up a book to read while I was folding laundry yesterday. But then I realized which book it was: Boundaries in Marriage.

She leaned against the couch and "read" it for 15 minutes. I'm not exaggerating. It's not even like she stares at the cover. She actually browses the pages.

Finally, I had to snap a picture. Call me crazy, but I don't think the authors wrote it for someone to read while wearing a onesie.

This girl cracks me up and scares me at the same time. She is constantly watching me for cues on how to act, behave and participate in this life. Parenting really is an amazing, hilarious and frightening adventure.

This is adorable. Your wish is coming true - you daughter WILL love to read.

Love it! By the looks of her expression, I'd say she either disagrees with the author or is puzzled by a particular point :-)

I would be thrilled if Cohen would sit still for ANYTHING for 15 minutes!!!
