My baby is a bookworm

We always read a book to EJ before he naps or goes to sleep at night. We usually read around two or three books before he gets sleepy. It has been like this for three months now. And it makes me happy because EJ really loves books. Most of the time though, I get sleepy ahead of him hehe. Like this afternoon...

I was tired and very sleepy when I put EJ to bed for his nap. As usual he demanded a book. Seeing he was also tired, I told him to just close his eyes and I will sing him some lullabyes. But he shouted "book, book". At first I was annoyed. I really wanted to shut my eyes. But hearing the excitement from his voice, I relented.

Shouldn't I be happy that my baby (who is just 22 months old) is always happy to read a book?

I definitely am. Especially after he said "Peeesss (please), mommy?!

that's lovely ;-) i think a healthy interest in books should always be encouraged. kids these days tend to be too focused upon computer games to bother with books.

That's true. That's why I am so happy EJ likes books :)
