A Good Place to Read

I put the books on the shelves and the babies pull them off. I put the books on the shelves and the babies pull them off. I put the books on the shelves and the babies pull them down. I put the books on the shelves and the babies pull them off.

But at least now I know why they keep pulling them off the shelves. Who knew a shelf was a good place to 'read' a book?


And today is the last chance to enter the giveaway. Find it here.

Yours looks a BIT neater than mine LOL. I find with 4 toddlers-they DESTROY EVERYTHING & there's nothing I can do, it just happens SO FAST!

I agree... a familiar story from our house.
This picture is great! Priceless!

Too funny! Trevor pulls the books off the shelves, but he prefers to eat them.

Unknown said...

That is hilarious. My daughter used to take her books under our bed to read because she like 'the quiet'!

Allison said...

Cute shot! And, I think we have most of those books, too! My daughter also loves her giant Little People books! It may be a mess, but mystery solved!

Oh Jen, that is hysyerical. They are very daring those little ones. My little guy never wanted to go on anything where he may have fallen off.

That looks very familiar to me. Although my daughter isn't so much about getting onto the shelves so much as pulling the books down so she can rip them to shreds. Yep, that girl's going to be a reader.

I've been there! When does it end? Elizabeth STILL pulls books off the shelf.

Diana said...

Hummm....that floor hidden under books galore and the empty shelf is a very familiar scene! :-)

HA HA!!I recognized no less than 6 of the exact same titles that I just picked up off of my living room floor a few minutes ago while mine are taking a nap!! : )
of course I won't show my kids this picture b/c if they tried to sirt in our bookcase it would probably fall apart!... yikes now I have another addition to the to do list tonight! : )

I'm so glad we are past the book pulling stage. lol! The books only come off the shelf in twos and threes now.

And yeah, empty bookshelves are great for playing in.

THIS I LOVE - my kids have not doen this one yet!!

Susie said...

That's about right. We started using a box when ours were that age:-)

Orlund said...

I thought the bathroom was the best place to read but I guess if your not potty trained the book shelf would do.

Jo-Jo said...

I have a climber too. I hope he doesn't get that idea!

Shannon said...

Who knew the bookshelf was so comfortable??!!?!?

Rhea said...

Sooo cute! This is why I put our books in baskets.......they still end up empty but in some weird way I am not as bitter when I pick them up for the 100th time!

Danyele Easterhaus said...
