- The other day Jan (my wife) picked up Laura at her grandparents to take her
- home.
-
- Well, Laura didn't want to give up the National Geographic she was looking at,
- and Jan didn't want the fight, so Laura got to bring the magazine home (read it
- in the car :-) Ditto for going down for her nap. Rather that risking a major
- fight, she put Laura down in her crib still clutching the National Geographic
- and said night-night. A little while later, she peeked in to find Laura had
- curled up clutching the magazine and gone to sleep.
-
- About 1 1/2 hours later, Jan peeked in again. Laura was awake, sitting up in
- her crib and "reading" the magazine again. Did she want to get up? Nope.
- Jan brought her a bottle, which Laura took and continued with the magazine.
- A while later Jan went in again to check on her. Laura hands her the empty
- bottle ("I'd like a re-fill, please") and goes back to the magazine.
-
- We've always felt it was important to raise a literate child!
