the reading nook

when i moved ella into julian's room and made the playroom,
i envisioned a play area that was a little more
open and user friendly 
for the kids to play in.

since the move, there have been a couple of changes.
the reading nook has evolved just a bit.
the teepee has been packed away and more pillows have been added.
the space is comfy and a little bigger.

just recently, this space has really turned into a reading nook.
since starting first grade ella has really progressed with reading.  everyday she is reading more and more and i think she is even surprising herself.  i found her reading a book to julian the other day when i snapped these pictures.
you don't even know how happy that makes this mama.
i think the change in weather has also had a little to do with cozying up in this space.
unloading our new library books has been a big draw also.

i still want to make a nice thick mat like one i saw in my friend's house.

i really love this little nook...
