Well-Read

In the bustle of packing for a trip on Thanksgiving Day (which was also her birthday), Amy neglected to pack any entertainment devices for James during the 8 hours we'd be spending in the car. No books, no toys, no games. Oops.

Thankfully, he seemed to have gotten over his carsickness and spent the next 45 minutes studiously reading the paper, albeit sideways, occasionally making insightful comments on the articles, such as, "Bear. Tree. Climbing."
