Warm Fuzzy Moment
When I was in middle school, or thereabouts, I went through my bookshelves. I took all the books that I felt were critical to my childhood and put them in a box (a purple box with brass handles and Tigger - not just any box). The rest of the children's books on my shelves I donated to charities or otherwise gave away.
A few months ago I was at my parent's house. I had recently converted our spare room into a nursery for the Davey boys. So when I saw the Tigger box in Charleston, I decided to bring it home with me. Neither boy is old enough to read on his own yet, nor do they usually have the patience to sit while you read a book to them. However, hidden in my collection are a few books anyone can read because they are pictures only.
I keep the Tigger box on a shelf in their closet. At first I kept it in their room, but I realized that they are too young for most of the books in there and I was getting paranoid about them damaging them. But I have pulled a couple out for them to flip through before, so Arik had a pretty good idea of what was available. The other day he came into the living room and specifically requested the mouse books.

And then he asked if there were any more of my books they could read.
