Day 4 (August 4, 2010) Topic: Favorite Book
Here is another secret about me...I LOVE to read! At any given time I am reading 3 or 4 books. I love to read books pertaining to motherhood, education, family, parenting, friendships, mysteries, and of course romance. (That picture is my bathtub - my favorite place to read)! I am not the best cook, but I love cookbooks and collect them; I will go through the entire book and sticky note the recipes I want to try. I know my library card number by heart just like one knows their social security number. I can rattle off the 14 digit number anytime; I never even take my card into the library anymore!
I take the boys to the library weekly to check out books. They love it also. We go so often, they know where to return books, where the children's area is, the dvd's, the room where they climb the BIG steps, the place where I read to them, the tables they sit at and read, and where the "mommy books" are. I melt when we walk into the library and Logan says "this is a quiet place bits." I love how they both want to find the right books and dvds to check out and even more that they know how to check out books. Soon it will be time to get them their own library card and that will be a celebration for sure! I love our weekly trips to the library. I am passionate about reading and books. From the time I could read I have had my nose in a book. I hope my children will love to read also. I love to read to the boys and as a teacher I know how important it is to read to children. So favorite books (I will list favorite children books since at the moment that is my favorite genre): Good Night Moon, Runaway Bunny, all Eric Carle & Dr. Seuss books, Love You Forever, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, Are You My Mother?, and if you have never read The Most Thankful Thing by Lisa McCourt - buy it and read it to your baby (no matter how old that baby is)! I read it when I was teaching to my class at Thanksgiving time and cried like a baby (I was pregnant with Logan).
I love to read to my babies. I feel lucky that I have these babies to read to - every single day.
