Book-nook, baby.

Lately, after one of those panicked moments of realizing that Oliver has been quiet for way too long, and  nervous about where and what I may find him doing...I've found him here:


He'll skillfully pull the box of board books off the third shelf on careful tippytoes...



And quietly sit, reading to himself in his booknook.  This has become his favorite place of retreat.  He's proud that he can pull himself up on the ottoman all by himself (high enough up and away from L who can't quite get up on her own) so he can have some alone time.


He'll sit here for up to 20 minutes at a time...getting lost in the illustrations and reciting animal sounds to himself.



And after he's done with each one, he tosses them on the floor.
