Another One Bites the Dust

At naptime I usually put Eli down in his crib with a couple of fun library books with which to amuse himself should he choose to forgo the afternoon nap. This has been a great source of entertainment for the little man until recently when he started playing a little bit too rough with the books.

The first book he destroyed was a pretty cool abacus book that was ended up in more pieces than the attached abacus could count. The second was a little fire truck book, and the third and final book was a funny little jazz-type book about cats and their pajamas. Upon discovering the destruction of each, little man and I had a quite serious talk about how we need to be soft with our library books and it is a privilege to be able to use them. He seemed to sense the gravity of the situation and he always poked his quivering little lip out and wanted a hug. However, this did not stop him from being a repeat offender. He is now banned from books in bed. Third time's the charm, or lack thereof in this case.
