Raising a Reader

I'm not sure how parents go about raising readers in their homes, but mine did extraordinarily well, and so did Tim's... well, at least with him. (Dan's not so much of a reader but way more of an imaginer, so it's all good.) And I feel strongly that Mark be a reader too.

Perhaps we're off to a good start. The other day I caught him quietly reading a book while the world went on around him. IMG_8280.JPGIMG_8281.JPG

 

 

 

 

Please note that in the first picture, you can't see the rooster, and in the second picture, you can. This is because he was flipping the flap that covered the rooster, up and down, up and down. No rooster -- there's the rooster! No rooster -- there he is! He'd also go to the next page and open the barn doors to see the cow, then close them, then open them, happily absorbed in his wonderful book. Unfortunately, along came mommy and the camera to interrupt the play. But it was toooooo cute to pass.

I'm surprised he could sit still after consuming that entire bottle of Mountain Dew. All that sugar and caffeine usually causes hyperactivity!
