Unfortunately sometimes her love of books gets in the way of her need to nap.
Today for example.
We sat down in the rocker to read and at the end of every book when I would go to put her in her crib because her eyes were shutting she would spot another book.
The books on the side table acted as instant caffeine.
Every time she was drowsy, she would spot another book and be wide awake and ready to hear about the adventures of Olivia, or Curious George, or Bree Tanner (don't judge me).
I read stories out loud to her for one hour and 15 minutes (which is only about a half hour over our usual story time), in every conceivable voice, and at the end of it all she was still wide awake!
Her brain full of southern twang from "A Fly Went By", she was ready for the next adventure.
I thought that the whispered "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" or the Micro-Machine Man voice for "The Night Before Valentine's Day" would knock her out, but today the Bellerina was mightier then the written word.
