I totally agree about vocabulary and reading-it exposes them to so many new words. We read about 10 books before bed and a zillion other throughout the day. I adore reading with her!

It's such a nice time to spend with her, and the habits we're building will last her a lifetime.<br/><br/>I'm going to include this in Things to Write Home About next week. :) What a great post! :) I love reading to Gracie, too.

Abby's favorite thing it to point to a picture in a book and say "dis" "dis" (she means what's this?)<br/><br/>It's nice to hear about your routine for bedtime and how it involves reading...we actually stopped doing that after Abby was born and need to start back up again.

I always find it quite hard going, reading to my kids, because they're so impatient! I stumble over the words in my rush to get them out before they want to go to the next page. Sounds lovely.
