That is so good. My GD LOVES books. You read her three books at bedtime and then she put 30 in bed with her and you can hear her "reading" (she is only 5) till she falls asleep. I just love it. She would rather take a book than a toy if you give her a choice.

It's wonderful to hear this sort of thing! Now-if we could just bottle and sell it to all the other kids out there!

When I was a kid (many moons ago), my mom told me "Learn to read and you can go ANYWHERE!) I took it to heart, and still LOVE to read...I gave the bug to my daughter, and now she is passing it on to about 30 other kids (she's a teacher)...I can't imagine not being able to read.

That is how old my Giovanni is. He does the same thing. It is especially precious to hear him reading to his little brother.

Giovanni is the same way, regarding books vs toys. He loves going to the book store and picking out books.

Thanks CarrieAnne!

I will admit to having family video game time about once a month, we play the XBOX Kinect and do some sporting event or adventure game. It is a trip to watch Giovanni beat my husband at boxing. LOL

You did my heart good. Isn't it wonderful to see their curious minds.

Reading to learn things or just for enjoyment is one of the greatest things we can give a child.
