A change is as good as a rest, or at least that’s how the saying goes. I hope there’s some truth to it! We’re on the mainland babysitting our four-year-old grandson and rest is hard to come by. He’s not one for sleeping, and his inquisitive nature is in gear before dawn. That first morning, when he nudged me awake at 5:30 am and I replied that it was ‘too early,’ he snuggled in beside me and tried to engage. “What does too early even mean?” That led to a discussion (one sided) about how I squish my eyes tight in the morning “even like Mama.” So, there’s very little rest to be had, but there’s lots time for laughs and cuddles, crazy bath time routines and books. And here’s what I’m reading this month.

Enjoy your time with the little one. The Tattooist of Auschwitz is such a good book.
Thanks, Darlene. I’m nearly finished The Tattooist of Auschwitz and, wow, what a good read! Not easy at times, but so worthwhile.
Enjoy your time with your grandson, Laura! I’m sure you are spending at least some time introducing him to new books!
Thanks, Debra. Yes, lots of new books and lots of story time!!
