From Laundry to Literacy

I dream of having various reading nooks tucked away in our home. You've likely seen them in magazines or scattered about the blogosphere: cozy window seats with well-dressed children perched atop designer-fabric-covered cushions, overstuffed chairs in a clutter-free corner with natural light streaming over the pages of Robinson Crusoe.

The stuff of dreams to be sure...or so I thought.

Yesterday Brownie was undeterred by a pile of laundry atop the furniture, too taken with a good story to be bothered by all the undone surrounding him. I sighed with lament that I cannot even keep our sofas clear of junk, that there is no special place for my little readers to get cozy.

Apparently I'd overlooked this particular "nook." Brownie paused from his story and said, Mommy, this sure is a comfy place to read a book. He is my hero, ever the optimistic and grateful soul.

As for Blondie, she found my unmade bed and messy bedroom just perfect.

Sometimes it pays not to fold your laundry or make your bed.
