well, it sounded like a charming idea...

with an overdose of Goodnight Moon on our hands and the fact that Jersey loves nothing more than snuggling up with Mama and a good book, I thought what sweeter way to spend our morning as a family.

WRONG! :)

she was so not interested, though these snaps might tell a different tale. We were fortunate enough to ambush those rare moments where she wasn't squirming to get out of our arms but instead looking at the book. :)






Mama's turn.


notice the little one's hand trying to slam the book shut.






when it's all said and done, our charming ideas of family time sometimes get surpassed by good ole fashioned tickle time on the floor with messy hair and dirty pj's. and there's nothing more charming than that.
