My husband and I have been talking about that recently. Because we love reading & think it's important that our [future] kids do too, and we wonder what one does to help encourage that in little ones! I'd be really eager to read any tips or ideas you think of on how that's developed so happily for your girl :) Maybe a little 'parent post' on how you helped her to learn to already read those books on her own, so young, before school! I'm so curious; how does one do that?<br />Thanks as always :)Krystal Wight Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310610382345882173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-23960208158010257962011-03-07T18:30:01.342-08:002011-03-07T18:30:01.342-08:00the table is precious and the pic of wren is the r...the table is precious and the pic of wren is the reason why!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-27190143756342204362011-03-07T18:18:02.043-08:002011-03-07T18:18:02.043-08:00Wren reminds me of my little, who is almost 5 now....Wren reminds me of my little, who is almost 5 now.

She loved books and we read together a lot starting when she was a baby. She was like a sponge and memorized the words to "read" the books herself. I'm not sure when she really learned to read but when we started homeschooling I gave her a book to see what words she recognized. She already knew how to read and was reading at a 5th grade level when she started 1st grade. <br />My husband and I can still quote those poems and books from memory.<br />A love of books and reading is a treasure!Robin's Nesting Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894844125547373328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-30422617017256704752011-03-06T14:11:31.639-08:002011-03-06T14:11:31.639-08:00The dresser is beautiful!

I am naughty because I get so caught up with everyone's blog that I don't have much time getting ready! Enjoy your week.

She loved me to read to her, I ran out of childrens books and I started reading magazines and novels to her. She would sit mesmerized. She too, had an advanced vocabulary for her age. Now that she has grown up her vice is buying magazines and books (just like mine). She is a prolific reader.<br /><br />I love your blue and white striped dresser, and your photos are lovely.<br />I'd say my ritual is checking my e-mail and reading blogs.<br />Susan : )<br />http://sanctuaryhomebysusancooke.blogspot.com/Sanctuary Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693272837246529866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-51243993083309395812011-03-06T13:04:03.501-08:002011-03-06T13:04:03.501-08:00Rituals ~ I have tons of them ~ add so much stabil...Rituals ~ I have tons of them ~ add so much stability to my life.<br /><br />Love your dresser and round table.

When mine were little, we had a nightly ritual that included, among other things, my reading to them - last thing before they went to beddy-bye! xoxoSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173303399522862906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-19903263026748897792011-03-06T11:09:16.527-08:002011-03-06T11:09:16.527-08:00My weekly ritual is to upload my pictures for my f...My weekly ritual is to upload my pictures for my friends & family to view every Saturday. I am MONTHS behind, so I've been spending every Saturday afternoon uploading them in hopes of one day catching up!<br /><br />And that is wonderful that Wren is already a reader! That is a hobby that will, I'm sure, continue with her throughout the rest of her life.<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your weekend! :)Lovely Little Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245322781909984657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-6697210102298349212011-03-06T09:55:09.646-08:002011-03-06T09:55:09.646-08:00Most important duh!
