Miriam has taken to reading her board books to herself. She'll go into the bedroom, pull a book off her shelf, and sit composedly and start reading, turning the pages, looking carefully at all the pictures, pointing out animals she knows or counting flowers. She just read Hug, by Jez Alborough, which is nearly wordless, a journey of a little monkey looking for a hug, and his mother, and finding various animal mother-baby pairs along the way. She turned the pages, pointed at the pictures, and murmured something like "mam." Then she put down the book, and ran over to me, arms outstretched, for a big, big hug.
