Yesterday, there was an unnatural silence at home, and when children are silent, it makes you worry. So I ran to see what was up, and saw something that I had been waiting for, for 5 years and 3 months (yeah all of Puttachi's life)
She was sitting, reading a book, all by herself. Reading, yes, not just looking at the pics - and the key phrase here is, "by herself." The day is finally here when I can start piling up the books next to her and leave her alone to read by herself and give my ears some rest :)
