April 14th...
Cael is a such a little bookworm, he absolutely loves them, and even though he was perfectly content with the million we already had...our neighbor was cleaning her kids' rooms and found about 50 more to bring over to him! He has been in absolute heaven these past few days, his favorite is a big book about Dora's adventures. It's the open one on the floor, it's full of flaps, and counting and shapes...he just had me read that one as his bedtime story instead of the fairy tales we have been reading every night. I haven't been keeping you all posted on how creepy those stories are as I have been reading them, and I can't think of any right now except for the 3 little pigs. Did you know that the first 2 pigs never made it to the brick house? Nope, after the wolf blew their houses down he ate them. I never knew.
The 'NPT parenting tips' that play every morning during his cartoons always say that it's best to read to your kids for 20 minutes a day to instill a lifetime love of reading...I am lucky if I can get through half of a story with out him up and leaving, or closing the book! It's a good thing he likes to read to himself, that 20 minutes a day thing is going to have to come later!
hey, do that Three little pig book have any scary illustration of a wolf eating pigs or being pictured with a fat tummy? Thanks in advance!
