S
ky is currently obsessed with books. She’s never been a sit-still kind of girl, and the only cuddles I usually get are right after naptime when she’s still half-asleep. The rest of the time she’s on the move. But lately when we sit on the floor for playtime, she’ll bring me a book and then climb into my lap. I typically get through about half the words on each page before she’s flipping to the next one, and our little “reading” session usually lasts about 30 seconds before she jumps up to grab a different book. But still, my little girl loves books. I keep telling myself that she’s only thirteen months old and she’s going to change a lot over the years. But for now, she loves books. And as a go-to-the-library-once-a-week, total book nerd myself, I have a question for all you experienced mommies. Is it too early for me to get really, really excited?
no. get excited. i believe that your love of reading will continue to create a love of reading in sky. anna belle is not even three, and she is always on the move too, but she would sit and read for hours if i had time to do it.
I’m excited with you! Our daughter was the same way when she was little and is an avid book reader to this day!
It is NEVER too soon to encourage books to a baby. Even if all you do is flip through it with her – it will develop a love for them. Also, see if your library ahs a story time or a “mommy & me” time for her age. I took Jonathan starting @ 4 months and the kid LOVES books and LOVES being read to. I’m starting with Judah next month!
HAPPY READING! HAPPY BABIES..SMART BABIES!!
