Celebrating Brown Bear


Up, down and around he goes. Climbing on laps and under legs. Pushing books out of the way. Interrupting the story. Forcing me to read louder in order to be heard over the cry.

Reading books to the olders when the baby is close is always a challenge.

But today.

Today the baby brought a book to read. And sat still as I shared what the brown bear saw. And then when it was over, he climbed down, disappeared behind the sofa and brought me another book.

Reading to a child is one of life's simple pleasures.

o yay! I find I don't read as much to my baby as I did to the twins. Recently we've started to read a book before bed with just him. He seems to really like that. I'm so glad.

I love this! My baby is 10 months, and he just really started getting into sitting for (certain) books. And brown bear? A favorite. :)
