Benny’s birthday falls right after Christmas, which in my mind means he already has enough new toys. This is a perfect time to get new books. I decided to do another book party this year (we did one at two years), of course he will still have the joys of a fun of a birthday party but his gifts will be books (don’t worry Jeff got him a toy of his favorite action figure). He loves literature and has from a very young age. This summer we checked out numerous books from the library and I bought the ones that were our favorites. The Beatrix Potter Collection was a big hit. He has a few of her stories but this book is the complete collection and we read the whole thing this summer. I know he will be so excited when he opens this one. The drawing book, we did not check out but several like it and they were a big hit as well. There are a few more that I ordered yesterday and thanks to Amazon Prime (oh how I love thee) they will be here tomorrow.This book and its pictures are so beautiful and smells so clean and fresh. I love new books!Of course there were a few books for mom in the box too. I can’t say that I love them, but I will get very familiar with them. I have six days left of this glorious vacation. Then it will be back to the books. One last time.
