State of Things
January 30th, 2010 by the1stdaughterIn an attempt to inform you my readers about the happenings with both The Turkeybird and Littlebug I decided a State of Things was in order. I mean heck, The President can do it, why not us?
Recently, I mentioned that Littlebug had acquired, quite literally, a taste for good books. Well, the proof is in the picture:
Needless to say this is a disgrace to all books…so sad.
I stumbled upon Jan’s wonderful blog this week (Eating Y.A. Books) and found this quote, “Very young children eat their books, literally devouring their contents. This is one reason for the scarcity of first editions of Alice in Wonderland and other favorites of the nursery.” by A.S.W. Rosenbach.
Can I just say perfect? I can’t tell you how many times both the Turkeybird and Littlebug have been asked, “to take the book out of their mouth!” Books are for the eyes and the heart not the mouth, but it doesn’t do much good saying this at such a young age. So, in my reluctance to have “nicer” books “eaten” I have a pile of these few books sitting in a very accessible place on the bookshelf in the case I can not reach them quickly enough to rescue said book. Yes, I know, shot me! I sacrifice one book for the life of another, but it’s what you have to do around here. And actually it’s working quite nicely. I’m happy to say that with the implementation of this particular program we have successfully saved all other books on the shelf.
Mission accomplished. Expect more State of Things in the future as well as a few reviews this coming week.
Now, back to your regular scheduled programming.

So funny you would post this, E just started eating a book today and I was like, “Get that out of your mouth! That book is expensive!” *Sigh* I wonder if any future children will even have any books to read once Ella gets to eating them all.
