And we read some books. A couple of weeks ago, Jessica commented that she felt like a failure because she didn't do all the stuff with River that she should. One thing she mentioned was that she didn't even read her one book a day. Today the book babies lady was really pushing the moms to commit to reading one book a day--seven by the next book babies. It seems simple to me, but maybe it's not for everyone. I know the librarian is trying to instill a love of reading in the little ones, but she instilling guilt in some mommies without knowing it. I'm working with Jess on how she can set a routine of reading--Bible story before bed, morning book time etc. |

I'm a literacy specialist. Please tell Jess that even if River is handling and eating books at this stage, it is a good thing. As she gets older, watching mommy do reading and writing (like making a grocery list and reading it at the store) is building literacy. Librarian is a wound a little too tightly, I think.
Jasmine looks beautiful! I like the pictures with her standing the best-- more natural. I hope she had fun at the dance!
She does enjoying chewing on the board books :)
