The Way With Books

Ethan loves books. Not only reading them, which he does quite often and can do so quietly on his own for a long time, but also throwing them about, tearing them (I just used up 1/3 of a roll of tape putting together one particular book a couple of days ago. I should post a picture of that book. It doubled in volume by the time I was done with it.) or putting them in a heap.

At 10 months. Thought it was quite cute.

At 2.5 years. Not thinking that it's so cute anymore.. cos he has many more books now and I have to sit with him and make him put it back one by one which takes a really long time because every book that he picks up, he will browse through it and appear to be deciding whether to read it or not.

On the topic of making a mess, Ethan was alone in his room this morning and we could hear him throwing some of his toys around. Benjamin told me later that he saw ethan standing on his bed looking out of the window when he went in to check on him. He thinks ethan might have thrown something out of the window but we don't know what. Hope we don't get a visit from the police anytime soon.
