I just can’t say no…

… when Anna brings me a book and wants me to read it to her. I mean, how can you refuse a child who wants to read a book? I love it! I tell you, I’m not getting a thing done around here because every five minutes she’s toddling up to me with that little “uuh, uuh, uuh” and holding up a book, and I just drop everything and plop down right there on the floor with her in a heap of smiles and cuddles.

We’ve always read to her, but she’s really gotten more into her books the past several weeks. She wants to pick out her book herself, she watches and listens more attentively, she wants to read the same ones over and over, and she’ll sit through 4 or 5 now rather than just 1 or 2. She’s amazing!

    Life’s simple: Eat, Sleep, Read to your child.
    Not much else matters. Keep doing what’s important. Before you realize how fast the time passes, she’ll be reading to you!

    I love it! The best students I have had a love of reading cultivated already, by the time they start piano. Sorry – bad sentence. Typing out as I think.
