Sweet Pea is five months old today. She celebrated the occasion by initiating her love of reading. I was in the kitchen, pulling lunch (and a crockpot supper) together. Scooter was lounging on the floor beside Sweet Pea, reading to her... a book about wind. I smiled and kept on with my work. It makes me happy to see the love of reading growing in two girlies, simultaneously. Next thing I know, Scooter's chomping away at her lunch and Sweet Pea's chomping away on her book! (Don't worry, she was fine.) But, I did snap a pic to show Miss Nancy, our local librarian. :)
There is a real culture of reading here at our happy little home. The article below talks about that sort of thing pretty succinctly.

We love (and practice) the idea of fostering a passion for reading, rather than pushing them into it. It's just normal here. It's just what we do. Maybe, that's why I didn't bat an eye when Sweet Pea swallowed two pages worth of info on wind. She's not the first Blossom to have done so. :)
