Watchya' Readin?

Grady loves books. He holds on, studies pictures, flips pages (intentionally, I'm sure) and yeah, likes to gnaw a little on the words. Currently on his night stand: Touch & Feel Animals box set.
Currently on my night stand: "It Was on Fire When I Lay Down On It" by Robert Fulghum, Author of "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten." A quick-reading, laugh-out-loud and bittersweet collection of one man's reminiscings and deep thoughts. The vignette I read before bed last night started with posing the 'basic strangers-on-a-plane' question, "Well, so what is it that you do?" He finished the musing with, "I and you - we are infinite, rich, large, contradictory, living, breathing miracles - free human beings, children of God and the everlasting universe. That's what we do."
