She loves books....FINALLY

As most of you know, I have complained about Victoria's disinterest in me reading to her. She would rather manhandle a book than sit down and let me read it to her. This is a constant source of frusteration for me....being an English teacher and an academic I know the importance of reading!!!! I do a lot of research online and every article ever written says that you should read to your child daily from the time they are in the womb. Well, as of last week, Victoria has started to pick up books and bring them to me for me to read! She turns the pages for me and even dances when I'm reading a "sing-songy" book! She especially likes her Barnyard Dance book from Aunt Adele (She dances to my reading and even mimicks some of the sounds i make) and her Halloween Peek-a-Boo book from Grandma Stock (she opens all the flaps and squeals when I say peek-a-boo). This is heaven! Although, she makes me read both of them about 5 times each and screams bloody murder when I say "the end". I've read them so much that i have them memorized and often times "sing" them when I'm in the shower. Nice!
