Ali was playing with her books a couple days ago and she actually started flipping through Guess How Much I Love You. The book is actually the right direction, she's flipping the pages nicely, and her expression is thoughtful. If I were a different kind of person, I would post this on Facebook bragging about how my baby can read at nine months old. If I were a really dishonest person, I would create some type of Your Baby Can Read program, and use this picture as proof that it works.
But I'm an honest person. Ali isn't reading at 9 months. She won't read at 3 years, and I'll be happy if she can read simple books in kindergarten or first grade. Babies aren't born to read, they are born to be read to. I read to my Ali, and that's why she likes books. She likes the bright pictures, the smooth pages, and the sound of my voice.
And books taste pretty amazing too.
Happy Reading!
