Our Bedtime Stories

Today we made a quick jaunt to the library to check out the selection of infant appropriate books. Glad to report we came away with five books that I plan on using for bedtime stories. This activity, I'm sad to say, has fallen by the wayside in the past. Reading to him at bedtime (and other times) was a strong goal of mine to achieve and I hope to pick it back up again. I love to read, and my parents read to me when I was a baby up through adolescence. Tonight I gave him a relaxing bath and then read to him from three short books. He seemed  thoroughly entertained while I read to him. One of the books was a touch/feel book which he hasn't quite caught onto yet but I enjoyed it myself. I think I had the preconceived notion that there wasn't much point to reading to him at this age because he would just try to eat the book, but after tonight I feel confident that he actually got something out of it. And if nothing else, at least I had fun. I'm fully aware that before we know it he will be reading us bedtime stories.
