Recently, Riley has taken over story time. Instead of quietly listening to me read and questioning the pictures on the pages, she grabs the book and "reads" to me, making up her own stories. There couldn't be anything cuter in the world! Her past two nights' stories have began: "Once upon a time in a faraway crib...." and the newest was her rendition of Goodnight Moon, which started: "Once upon a time, the moon was sleepy. Goodnight moon." Sure, she may act like a monster half the time, especially out in public-- but moments like these are unforgettable and make every toddler temper tantrum worth it.
