Doesn't Everyone Read Their Book Inside A Laundry Basket?

One day my daughter realized that her son was awfully quiet so she went looking to see what he was getting into. There he was in the hallway sitting inside the laundry basket quietly looking at one of his books. Now, we all know that when a child that young becomes really quiet it means they are getting into something they usually aren't supposed to be messing with. Poor baby, all he was doing was sitting and reading, well looking at his book. It was so adorable she just had to take a photo and send it to Grandma. He's such a good boy.

He has always liked books. He even makes up little stories as he looks at the pictures.

Too cute! Julian (18 months) hides to read his books too. I will think the same thing, that he's getting into something and I will find him reading somewhere. =)

So cute! Glad your daughter took the picture... He totally immersed himself in his book and the basket looked like a tent for him...

@HazySue If he leaned back, he would fall off and might hit his head on the floor...

I bet it felt like a cozy tent to the little guy. Makes sense to me or he could be pretending he is in a rocket ship.

I think they figure you are watching and if they are really quiet they might get away with doing what they shouldn't be.

@HazySue Susan, I would guess that too so he wanted a quiet place where he could just sit and read.
