I have been reading to Grace since she was just a few weeks old. She has always loved to look at the pictures and now she is starting to love the sound of the words. Last night Matt filmed our reading time and Grace looked up every time I said "Thump."
This past weekend was General Conference for the LDS Church and after the last session there was a series on parenting and it talked about the importance of spending quality time with your children. After visiting the web site, Matt and I decided that no matter where we are or what we have on our agenda, our children will be read to every single day until they can read for themselves and no longer want to sit on our lap (hopefully this will be before the age of 18!).
It is so exciting to think that just a few minutes can help build a relationship with your children and that reading to them can set a foundation for all of their future learning.
I am going to try once again to post a video to Blogger...but who knows if it will work. If it does, you'll see it below. If not I'll redirect you to MySpace.
Mandy CALL ME when trying to post a video, I'll get it to work for you.
