I just ordered five new books for Carrie – and none of them have anything to do with puppies! It all started off so innocently, I wanted to just get Read-Aloud Rhymes for the Very Young<\/a>. But of course, I also wanted to qualify for free super-saver shipping. So, into the cart went Good Night, Gorilla<\/a> and The Very Hungry Caterpillar<\/a>. And then, even though I’d already spent the necessary $25 (and then some) I remembered that I’d been wanting to pick up a copy of Moo Baa La La La<\/a>. Finally, I happened upon The Napping House<\/a>, which looks pretty cute, so I figured as long as I was spending too much money anyway I may as well just add it to the pile.<\/p>\n

It’s a good thing Carrie seems to love reading books, because I seem to love buying them for her! (And it’s also a good thing I finally started using the library for my own books because I just blew this month’s book-buying budget in one shot.) But it definitely makes more sense to buy Carrie’s books at this point because she’s kind of rough with them and I don’t really want to have to limit her access to them so she doesn’t damage borrowed books. It’s really wonderful to see her turning and patting the pages of her books as she babbles away, even if she’s sitting on the page she’s trying to turn. Actually, all things considered, her books seem to be weathering the abuse very well, and there’s only minor damage to a couple of them at this point. It probably helps that she doesn’t have teeth yet…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
