Nowadays Cole loves when I read to him. He really gets into it, cooing along, flapping his arms and studying each page. I started reading to Evan early on, too, like 1-1/2 months or so. Board books with simple pictures are good—like “That’s Not My Puppy,” and “Brown Bear, Brown Bear.” The rhyming ones are great, too—like “Mr. Brown Can Moo,” and anything Dr. Seuss. I like Eric Carle, Sandra Boyton, Piddy Books, Dr. Seuss and many others. But recently the only books Evan wants to read are Spiderman or Star Wars books that are completely ridiculous and poorly written. I really hope this is just a phase.
