Avery appears to like books.

Immediately after waking each morning, Avery reaches for a book. And he’s not shy about asking to be read to. He’ll hand me a book and pat a chair or spot on the floor, signaling for me to take a seat and read to him. When I finish the first book, he walks to his bookshelf or book basket, retrieves another and asks to be read the next book. And so on.

I was surprised by how quiet he managed to be as I looked up books on business plans and traveled with him to the business section to pick out the books I’d searched for.

With a stack of books for each of us, I headed back to the checkout desk.

We left with some good stuff for Avery:
