I probably didn't really introduce books until they were sitting up and could hold them while we read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-17985514315587058762009-07-02T16:06:48.991-04:002009-07-02T16:06:48.991-04:00The only one I can think of off the top of my head...The only one I can think of off the top of my head, is "Pat the Bunny"--a good touchy-feely start for reading. However, know there are more like that out there--by the way did the blanket arrive before noon on Wednesday--if it didn't I'm supposed to get a refund from the Post Office (better known as the Jesse James outlaws). . lots of love, MimiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-89330928776741567782009-07-02T11:28:47.285-04:002009-07-02T11:28:47.285-04:00Dude seriously, the first three months babies are ...Dude seriously, the first three months babies are just blobs! No need to be too hard on yourself. Or rather, I wasn't hard on myself bc we didn't read to them the first 3 months either.<br /><br />We instituted bedtime reading right around 4 months as part of their nightly routine. So it was bath, bottle, book, bed. That is still the routine, without bottle. We let each boy pick one book.<br /><br />But they love love love books. At school, they have story time and we always read to them on weekends.LauraChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322568136833382134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-79090073355321706072009-07-02T11:03:36.897-04:002009-07-02T11:03:36.897-04:00I also do it at bedtime, right after they eat.

Also, rocking them a bit before I put them donw has always been part of routine, so now I simply combine the two.<br /><br />The only other thing I can think of is to do it as part of the mornign routine - my kids are always super-happy in the morning. Maybe right afetr you feed her in the morning? Not sure if there is time for that in teh week but it could always be a weekend thing.Nicole S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04073857953370420287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-62522529419066499752009-07-02T10:54:07.600-04:002009-07-02T10:54:07.600-04:00I think your best bet is as part of your bedtime r...I think your best bet is as part of your bedtime routine, or otherwise it will get pushed aside. So important- pick a night, say Saturday and just start. It's so important! I have lots of recommendations, for 2019 (yikes!) when she enters my age bracket:)Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10511387809521387614noreply@blogger.com
