Cost of children’s books

Been a while since I last posted. I wanted to ensure that the baby room pictures stay on the main page for a good while. So now back to the updates.

We went to the store several days ago and Nikki wanted to pick up some baby books. The books are earmarked for the shelf that I have been putting off for weeks (hence the delay in the baby room pictures). When we got to the checkout line we realized that one book costs over ten dollars.

Maybe you guys didn’t hear me the first time. I said the baby book (read: “See Jane run” with a couple of pictures scrawled on the page) costs TEN DOLLARS! To put things into perspective Nikki got me a Tom Clancy book months ago that I am yet to read that costs like five or six dollars. If I can publish a few of these baby books I can retire in a couple years’ time.

I feel compelled to point out that a library card is free and there is a library right down the street. Every Saturday morning I will take him there and read to him for hours. Failing that I have no problem reading the Clancy spy thriller to him. So if he is talking about covert operations at three years old, we know where it comes from.
