Book Worm

I have always wanted my child to be into reading. I think it is a great way for kids to learn and build their imagination. When Miriam was only a few days old I sent Lee out to Barnes & Noble to pick up a few books so we could start her on the right track. I also signed up to do a monthly book club by Scholastic. Her daddy reads to her anytime he is off and I read to her before her naps. (that is when she sits still long enough)

Well to my surprise I think it is working! This week I have caught MJ going into her room and playing with her books on a couple occasions.



This is her last month when she taught herself how to open the cabinet.

AND now this is what I get to clean up a couple of times a day. :o)

Her favorite right now is Pat the Bunny. We are in awe of how she will really pat the bunny, "play peek-a-boo with Paul" and touch "daddy's scratchy face." I have been teaching her to smell the flowers, but her version of sniffing is to put her face on the page- we'll keep working on that.

So if you have any suggestions on a good read for a 9 month old send them our way!
