Detour

On the way home from a recent trip to the library, Hazel insisted on stopping for a reading break.

She was delighted to sit on the sidewalk and read--especially when there were cars in her book and cars on the road. ("Car-car. Car-car! Car-car!")

After about 10 minutes, I convinced her to start walking again. Initially she thought this was a terrible idea, but once she realized she could hold on to her books, she was willing to head on home.
