I think back to when Hayden was just a very small baby....even before I had gone back to church with him. I literally read all the books that were on Hayden's shelf to him in just a couple of sittings. Then I think also back to the times he would play with books by himself as he bounced actively in his bouncer seat. Fast forward to now.....Hayden will sit in his room (during his playtime) and read books. We currently read a book (or 2) at naptime and also bedtime at night. We check out about 10 books each week from the library. Hayden also gets 1 new book each month (till age 5) through the Imagination Library Foundation. (google that or ask me about it) On the airplance this past week I had brought about 5 small books....we read them all. On the way to Longview from Fort Worth, my mom read books she had gotten from the library plus all the books we had already read while on the plane. (which last pretty much the whole trip) One evening while here in Longview my mom and Hayden had gone upstairs to get his PJ's......about 25 minutes later they come down the stairs. They were in the spare room (now Hayden calls "Book Room") reading books from the collection there. (which is a big collection) Hayden has been reading books in the car as we are driving somewhere, has Mamaw read him books, has NeNaw read him books, and papa and I of course too. So if there is something I am truly thankful for (along with some many other blessings) is that my son loves books!! He is hungry to learn and listen and point out what he sees. It took me a longer time in life to love reading but I'm soo thankful that he has caught on earlier. I truly believe it started from that one day that I read and read to him while he bounced away in his seat. So if you ever are having a hard time thinking of something for Hayden.....a book will do the trick.
I Love It!!!
