Merritt's Reading Preference

A couple of weeks ago, Merritt and I were at the library while Evy was at school.  We did our usual routine of the Children's section first.  Merritt was *not* interested in any of the books there.

So, we went to the fiction section so that I could find a book.  Merritt took off around the corner and across the room, climbed onto the step stool, reached really high, found himself The Book (it was as if he knew exactly where to get his book and no others would do), and would not let go of it until we got home.  I had to have the librarian check the book out while he was still holding it.

He was so proud, holding that book.
