Ma said that from about eighteen months and on, she couldn't keep books away from me. Right on schedule, The Bug got into books. He always loved stories, but suddenly he's ravenous.

He never snuggled with anything, never had a favorite toy or blankie, but the last couple of days, he's snuggled down with a book in bed and gone right to sleep.

He's been sleeping through for the last few weeks, thank god. The doctor said it was time to let him scream. It took about two days, but it was worth it, and we're all happier, Bug included.
