One of my failures as a parent has been reading to my children. Not Joseph. When I married Sara Beth, I read to Joseph almost every night for several years. And now Joseph loves to read. I'm a big believer in reading to children. I saw it make a difference in Joseph and I'm hoping it will make a difference in Kallsen and Parker.
Well, I have not done a good job in reading to Kallsen or Parker. Not that I haven't tried but Kallsen has been so active that he has not had the patience to sit and listen and have a book read to him in full. And this includes those short A, B and C books.
Well tonight Kallsen sat in my lap and was fully involved in the book I was reading to him. And when we were done he wanted to look at the pictures in the book again.
I think we're on to something.

Excellent! Good for you! I'm a big believer in reading to children, too. Davey loves books. Same with you, I haven't been as good about it with Derek. But we're getting there.
you sure are adam....keep it up honey....children are ready for things in their own time..not always when parents are ready..boy..do I know that!
That's wonderful! I always read to my kids too when they were little. I have friends who still read to their kids even though they are in middle school. It is family time for them and they all love it.
I noticed that while I was reading to Kallsen, Parker, who was being held by his mommy, was looking at me and listening in.
