These are a portion of the books Catherine owned at the age of 3 when we moved to Savannah. She wanted to arrange her books on her shelves, so the books got dumped into the floor so she could sort through them and arrange them on the shelves the way she wanted them. Catherine has always loved books. There were books everywhere: on the shelves, in the bed, on the couch, in the closet, in the living room floor, on the table, in the car. Wherever she went Catherine took books (yes, bookS, plural). One time I limited the number of books she was allowed to take on an outing to two. She finished both of them soon after we left the house and was quite annoyed with me that she didn't have any more books to read while we ran our errands. I didn't make that mistake again. Bedtime was an adventure in figuring out how many books she could manage to get one of us to read to her, and she was quite the negotiator! I'm glad to have shared this love of books with Catherine and that she embraced it.
