Baby Loves Books Having a special place for reading to your baby is a great way to establish the reading routine and also to get yourself in the [...] Is there a book or two you enjoyed with your baby or toddler a while ago? It’s all the more likely then that you’ll both love revisiting it. Repetition and re-reading aren’t new to your baby. She has loved them ever since you first communicated with her. You’ve probably read the same set of ‘favorite’ books dozens [...] Reading To Older Kids Does this parenting paradox seem familiar - Please indulge me this seemingly off-topic post.
