I love to read. I remember going to the library with my mom & brother when we were little (and were out of school for summer with no jobs! Ah, the good 'ole days...) and checking out the absolute maximum that they would let me get and reading through them in, like, 3 days.
Yeah, I love to read.
I'm hoping that Deacon will get that love of reading from me. His Daddy doesn't have it -- or didn't have it until just recently, within the last year or so. Deacon does love to look at books, and he's to the point now where he'll sit through actual "paper page" books. You know what I mean, mamas. Yeah, he'll sit all the way through to the end. Excited about that!
Anyway, over the last 2.5 years of his life, he's been given a lot of books and we've had some in the living room and some in his own room. I decided I wanted to combine them all into one special place in his room called "the book nook". Eventually, I picture a cute little arm chair sitting in this area for Deacon to have some quiet time to sit and read any book he wants...
I kept a couple of diaper boxes and covered them in some kraft paper for the "shelving". I cut out letters on my Cricut machine to put all over the outside box and then I lined the inside backs with some scrapbook paper I had that coordinated with the colors in his room already.
The letters on the wall were cut on my Cricut machine, too.
It's nice to have all of Deacon's books in one place now (and there's less to clutter up the living room now, too. :).
