Books, books, and more books! We are so glad that Layla is and has been infatuated with books since she was just a little raisin baby many months ago (see a video of Layla "reading" at 8 weeks here). Every evening, we sit with Layla and read, at the very least, 5 books, sometimes almost all of her books in her bookshelf in one sitting. After reading a book, she turns to Joey and I and says/signs, "more books, please". She climbs down from the couch and grabs another book and climbs back up... one book at a time. It's amazing how attentive and enthusiastic a toddler can be when a good book is in hand.
Above is a picture of a few of Layla's favorite books right now.
- "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" is in constant rotation. We can read the book without looking down at the words.
- "What Am I?" is a great book about bugs, something she is very aware of. She has a half a dozen bug bites on the back for her legs and mistakes lint and crumbs for bugs.
- "Potty Time with Elmo" is a fan favorite, given the theme of the book. For something more visual that will definitely knock your socks off, check out "Elmo's Potty Time" musical clip.
- "Pumpkin Day, Pumpkin Night" is a book we checked out of the library recently and is appropriate for the season. Layla loves pumpkins!
Layla's sling bookshelf sits in the living room...which lends a hand to a quick read with Mom and Dad any time of day. Her overflow of books are hidden inside the coffee table.

Love the little reader! Carter is becoming a big reader too, can't wait for them to read together. Only complaint is that I gave her that animal pop-up book, not Grammy....
