Kate's corner

One of my favorite things that Kate does is play by herself in this little corner of our kitchen. She has "her" shelf with books and toys, and she busies herself well. There's something about watching her "read" and explore when she doesn't know I can see her that makes me so proud of her. She sits a lot now and flips through books while babbling away, almost like she really is reading to herself. It's nice that she's learning to play independently...especially since it allows me to get a few things done and Ryan and I to have an actual adult conversation every once in awhile!
