When Ruby became mobile, we put her board books on the lowest shelf in the playroom so she could enjoy them. We moved all other books out of her reach, including the children’s books made of paper. Those we put on a shelf she could see, and occasionally we would take one down to read to her.
This week, her interest in the paper books skyrocketed. She started moving her stool over to the shelf in order to reach them and take them down. When I noticed she was reading them (instead of ripping or otherwise destroying them), I moved the paper books to a shelf she can reach.
Now, almost every time one of us is in the playroom with her, she grabs those books and asks us to read them to her. After only a few days, she already knows the name of each book (there are about 13) as well as details from the pages. When we come to the end of a book, or when she tires of it, she jumps up, asking “Two? Two?” (two more books) and runs back to the bookshelf to select new ones.
