Jaxy and her books

My wife is “trying to have a habit of reading her Bible everyday” as what I see.  When she gave birth to our daughter, Jaxy, she reads her Bible every morning.  Jaxy grew seeing her mom and I reading much.  By the time our daughter knows how to speak, she will ask for books.  Reading book (she’s actually browsing them) is the first thing our daughter would like to do after she wakes up in the morning.  I and my wife were really amazed and happy about her habit.  In fact, we bought a lot of picture books for her.  Every time she has a new book you could see her excitement and eagerness to learn what’s in the book.

Jaxy loves her books.  Yet after several months of browsing, learning the same pictures, the same context, and the same books, she started to tear them apart.  My wife noticed that our daughter is having fun now of tearing her books after a few minutes of browsing. We try to tell her not to do such things but it didn’t work so well. So her mom gathered all the tattered pages of her books, patiently glue them in the right place and keep them.

One afternoon our daughter was trying to dig in her toy cabinet and found a paper bag.  She managed to pull the bag out of the cabinet but the paper bag gives way and the books scattered on the floor. She then discovered that it is full of books so right away she grabbed one book to another book with a loud voice saying “Wow books”.  Upon seeing the scene and hearing our daughter shouting with excitement, my wife doesn’t want to miss this event…We never stop buying books for Jaxy. We could see a lot of progress in her learning.  Another batch of books we bought for Jaxy and the same thing happens after a few months; its either the pages are gone or the pages are full of colors and stickers.  I bet kids are like that but someday she’ll learn to take care of her books and treasure every pages of it.
