Reading Nook

since cole started school, dean and i have had a lot more one on one time.  he's so different when his big brother isn't around, much more quiet and focused so it has become the perfect time for us to read...

i designed this reading nook in their room after the preschool was giving

away this great book shelf.  since we put all of their books on display like

this they have read so much more and they love shuffling them around.

they especially love this swivel egg chair and the pillow is made

from one of their dad's old soccer tees that he lived in when we met.
