M’s Favorite Books – Age 2.5
M loves to read. She “studies” every night with Daddy after her bath, and it is their bonding ritual that we are thankful for. At a little over two-and-a-half years old, she knows almost all of the colors in her color books, can count to 25 (with some missing numbers, some of them are hard [...]
Exploring Our Public Library
This past spring I discovered our public library. I knew where it was, but I never went there to visit or see what it was all about in our small town. I really wish I’d gone sooner. However, now is the perfect time since M will be three and we have already outgrown our bookshelf. [...]
TJ’s Favorite Books – Age 6
TJ is six and a half and in the same classroom with the first, second, third, and fourth graders at his Montessori school and he is LOVING it (yes, even summer school). He is reading anything and everything he can get his hands on and it’s been amazing to see how the world has become [...]
E’s Favorite Books – Age 20 Months
E still loves flipping through her books as much as having them read to her. Every evening we snuggle up together and read a few books before bed. These eight are Es current favorites and must be read every night-thankfully they are all short! Giraffes Can’t Dance by Giles Andrae A silly, rhyming tale about a [...]
Maggie D’s Favorite Books – Age 2
When my daughter was born, a friend gave us a cute black onesie for her that says “Future Reader.” It won’t surprise anyone who knows me that my girl is growing into that prediction! She loves taking trips to the library and picking out new books, and at home she asks me to read them [...]
E’s Favorite Books – Age 16 months
Elizabeth LOVES to read. Whether it’s while sitting in my lap or on the floor by herself, if she’s being quiet chances are she’s with a book. There’s are her current favorites: Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss All day, every day. I actually have to hide it from her every few hours so I can [...]
TJ’s Favorite Books – Age 4
My son is super active and constantly moving, so it’s always nice to get a chance to sit quietly with him and read a book. It doesn’t happen every day or even before bed every night. But when it does, it’s a real treat for me and my husband because we both love to read. [...]
Brody’s Favorite Books – Age 3
Our little guy has always been a reader. When he was a baby and I was a SAHM, I would read books to him before every nap and before bed to try to establish a bedtime routine. We’d read in his room, with him on the Boppy Pillow looking at me (or more likely the [...]
N’s Favorite Books – Age 3 1/2
I love books. They have always been a great escape for me. Even before I had kids, I looked forward to sharing my love of reading with my babies. From the time N was little, he had books. I loved board books for him because he could explore with them, ‘read’ them, play with them, [...]
Maggie D’s Favorite Children’s Books – Age 17 Months
Maggie has loved looking at and playing with books since she could hold them. As an active toddler, it’s rare that she brings me a book and wants to actually sit in my lap or stand nearby while I read it to her, but there are a few books that she frequently wants us to [...]
