Remember a few month’s ago, I posted a blog talking about the books i’ve read, and that my plan was to read at least one book a month. Well it’s April and I am on book number 4.
Although I haven’t always been an avid reader, I’ve really been enjoying it these past few years, and a lot more this past year.
However, I always made sure I read to Alani. I read to her at least once a day, usually at bedtime. Her preferred books are Goodnight Daddy, and Goodnight Mommy (every single night might I add), but I always try to squeeze a new book. I believe reading is so crucial for our babies and toddlers, as it builds up their vocabulary, their imagination and much more. Alani is talking more than ever, and her pretend play is out of this world. So parents read to the little ones as much as possible.
I say all of that to say this; Right now we are reading
Me: The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander
Alani: Amongst Goodnight Daddy, and Goodnight Mommy, she’s currently reading I Like Myself, which is also an old favorite.
–Knowledge is wealth
Reading opened EVERY door I ever had the pleasure of walking through. If we all read more this would be a much better world. Thank you for setting that trend in motion. We ❤️Demitra!!!
