I think we've created a monster

Tonight Rachel insisted I read her three stories -- the same one twice, from a book about Mr. Horse who takes Cat, Dog, Pig and Duck for a ride -- and then another from the Portland Jewish Library called, "It's challah time!" which is all about how to make challah, complete with pictures.

After we were done with the challah, book, Rachel -- without a word -- took her little chair to the crib and dropped the book inside. Then when I put her to bed, in the dark, she opened the book and made as if she intended to READ IN THE DARK! "It's challah time!" she said.

I swear she must have a baby flashlight in her room somewhere.
