Last night while I was at chorus, Drew was reading to Rachel when she wriggled out of his lap, reached for a book on the floor -- one with kids making various hand and arm motions -- and started doing the same things all by herself! She was "reading" and following the directions in the book!
After a while she got tired of "reading" to herself and wanted Drew to take her on his lap again, which he did. But at least we know that she can engage herself in a book. I told Drew that this is a preview of our lives in a couple of years, when I'll want to play with or talk to her and she'll say, "no thanks, Mom, I'd prefer to read alone in my room if that's OK."
Sniff!
