Mary's first word was book. At the age of 15 months, she used to stand under my feet while I was trying to cook dinner and say in her sweet voice, "book...book...book" until I would stop what I was doing and sit in the floor and read to her. She would want to listen to me read her books over and over.
I think her sister is following in her footsteps. Ashlin will be 16 months on the 5th of September and she is totally into books. The other night she actually threw a fit as I tried to put her in bed, and I could have sworn I heard her say, "wanna book" over and over! When I went and picked up goodnight moon, she quit crying and sat down in my lap. She can already turn the page and point to the pages in the book. Tonight, as I tucked her in, we read one of Karen Katz books called "Mommy Kisses." As I read the book, she kissed each page, and then turned it. Melted my heart!!!
I have to admit, as a reading teacher I feel like my life is complete if my children love to read :)
