Fostering a Love of Reading

Doug and I both love to read & it is our hope and desire that our boys learn to love it as well.
All the "experts" say to start reading to your babies when they are young so we are doing that. In the morning after feeding time we read a story out of their Children's Bible and then sometime during the day I read them some children's board books. They are really loving it. They look at the pages and sometimes coo along as I read. They especially like books that have rythmn & sing-song sound to them. BTW - Thanks Aunt Dawn for helping us establish such a great library!!!

Originally I tried to hold them in my lap, but they are so squirmy that just didn't work so now we all lay on the floor and I hold the book over their head. It works great!!!
