One thing I'd like to share with my daughter is a love for reading. When I was little my parents used to read to me every night. My favorite book was "The Poky Little Puppy". I bought it for Betsy, it was the first book we read to her. For a couple of weeks we've been reading to her before bed. Ben loves sharing this time with us too. My Aunt Dolly sent us a bible stories book for children, I am so excited about it! When I became a little older I would lay in bed with my Mom and while she read her book I'd read my bible stories book. Then I'd tell her about whatever I had read about. I'm sure all these things contributed to my becoming an English major in college.
I probably read a hundred novels a year. Writing that, it sounds crazy! I thought once I had a baby I wouldn't find time to read but that's not the case. I read on my lunch break. I read before bed. I read in the bath. I love the library!
I'd love book recommendations for Betsy. To any of the moms who read the blog, please share what books your children love.

My stepmom gets "Goodnight Moon" for every new mom she knows.
I remember all the Dr. Seuss's when I was little.
A friend of ours sent "I Love You All Day Long".
I can't wait to start reading to our little lady!
