For The Love Of Books: A Curious Choice for an Idle

"This is George. George was a good little monkey and always very curious."

Today Beau decided to take a nice LOOOONG nap, so I was finally able to get some reading done! I read 100 pages! Now I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but when I haven't been able to get through more than 10 pages in one sitting for the last seven months, it is pretty much a miracle.

When he was awake I decided to look through his books. Yes, he has an entire bookshelf in his room, and it is FULL! I do realize that he is 7 months old, but the love of reading starts young! The problem is that he only likes 1 series of books. Curious George.

Now, I don't know if this is because his dad is tall and skinny like the man in the yellow hat. Or if I should be scared about the fact that he will soon be mobile. I mean, if George is his idle, I have a lot of messes, small disasters and mini adventures in my future. This could be bad. Very, very bad.

I am leaning towards the man in the yellow hat theory, because I know that although George always causes a problem, he always helps fix it! He accepts responsibility. He is helpful, and polite. George has a love of learning. That is why he is so curious, right? He just wants to know about all these different things he has never seen before. This is exactly how I want Beau to be! Turns out George is a great idle! I just never thought of him that way before today.

So bring on those messes and the mini adventures. I'm ready. I just really don't want to wear the big yellow hat.
