born reader?!
is there anyway to guarantee that my children will be readers? of course not, but i we encourage books, read every night, and sit around reading ourselves. we can only demonstrate and encourage it so much.....but i feel as if i had a break through. i know it is normal toddler stuff but i am going to let myself believe it means more than that. one of the books we read almost every night is go, dog go. a classic i know. as micah has been getting more familiar with it, there are things he will say for each page. one of the favorite pages is where the dogs head "to the trees, to the trees." on our way to storytime on friday, i asked micah where we were going....expecting the trained "storytime w/ joy." what i got warmed my heart. he said, "to the tree, to the trees." i laughed out loud.oh, i also learned something else: did you know that chocolate fountains are not good for weight loss? i gained two pounds......the journey continues.

Look at Micah! He is getting humor and reference. I love it. He will sooo be a reader! Keep reading! Read until they cant stand it! Kaitlin still wants me to read every day to her even though she can. Its a precious time!
GO DOG GO is my first recollection of reading. I adore that book (as stated before) I love the poodle with the large hate. And in the picture of the tree party, the dog that is swimming. And on the ferris wheel page...the dog that says.. "GO AROUND AGAIN!"
Sniff....it takes me back!!!
Go Dog Go is a staple here too and one of my favs. We still say "go around again" when my dad gets lost, including a memorable trip to get to the Jefferson Memorial that we passed by several times without finding a way TO it.
