like i said before, jacob brings me books to read to him now. he is turning the pages on his own and recognizes certain books by their cover. he gets extremely excited when i pull out his favorite ("goodnight sweet butterflies") and i can never only read the thing once.

i started reading to him at about a month old. i even read outloud when i'm reading something for myself.

i remember when i was young my mom would always buy me a book if i wanted one. i may not have gotten the candy bar, but i got 'the pokey little puppy.'

what about tv? right now cub watches a half hour video at night before he goes to bed. half of that time he spends running around the living room and not even paying attention to the screen. it's mostly a way to wind him down. i'm curious as to how your parents (or you) limited television, if they did at all. i don't ever want my child crying because he can't watch some cartoon.
