There are worlds in them and I love reading as much as I did when I was a kid. <BR/>I love reading to/with children, seeing their huge eyes when they follow a story. Passing on the love for reading is a real treasure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32466359.post-66889156468842384712009-04-10T18:14:00.000-07:002009-04-10T18:14:00.000-07:00How well I remember when it all started!

So it continues on to another generation!Maxinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040368808197747483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32466359.post-35493819281846765262009-04-09T18:55:00.000-07:002009-04-09T18:55:00.000-07:00My children were bookworms...and one desires to be...My children were bookworms...and one desires to be an Author. Actually she has published an article in a Christian magazine when she was a teenager.<BR/><BR/>BOOKS were the mainstay of our home. We didn't own a t.v. so their adventures and their learnings came from good wholesome sources. I still have some of their books (25 yrs old!) and yes..they were taught to turn the pages carefully and NO crayon marks or dogears (now those where hard to stop!) we made a lot of bookmarkers too!<BR/><BR/>Wonderful post and happy phonics..she'll be reading on her own in no time!<BR/><BR/>God bless you..<BR/>HOPEHOPEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593612195595034233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32466359.post-57904273536960116592009-04-09T09:33:00.000-07:002009-04-09T09:33:00.000-07:00I'm sure you got your love of books from your swee...I'm sure you got your love of books from your sweet Mom. And that is so cute about Lena loving her books like that. She is going to be very smart like you all. I love children's books and reading to them. I read to my grandson and he reads all the time, is very smart.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414636204646241763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32466359.post-63275599842091376932009-04-08T23:06:00.000-07:002009-04-08T23:06:00.000-07:00This reminds me... when we came home from the hosp...This reminds me... <BR/>when we came home from the hospital with Isaac, Ella- then almost two- immediately toddled into her room and disappeared for a few minutes. Mark and I wondered, "Where did she go?"... surprised that she had left when we'd just come home after being gone for two days. We went to find her and discovered her pulling books off her shelf for daddy to read to her. She was stacking them between her legs, and the stack was nearly as high as she was! (I think she figured that was a good way to get daddy's undivided attention- the more books, the more time with just daddy!) <BR/><BR/>So cute, your Lena. And I'm with you- how irritating to think that books are overrated!
