Day 251: Reading

Zaria loves it when we read her stories. Recently, she's started pointing at things in the pictures and trying to say some of the words, which is really fun. Not everything sounds quite right, but she tries to say strawberry, sock, elephant, animal, turtle, bunny, mouse, and orange. Even better, she's started to say "thank you" when we give her things and sometimes pauses with her hands folded before we eat, waiting for us to pray. I am amazed by this little girl.

Day 108: Reading together

It runs in Jamin's family that everyone loves to read, and so appropriately, Zaria was enjoying reading her own book while we read tonight. It was very cute. She was feeling much better today, but was a little crabbier than usual.

Day 10: Read to your kid

Today was the kick-off for the fall session of reading to 0-2 year-olds at the library. Zaria's ready to pounce on her books, and there's all sorts of cute toddlers running around the room. It's amazing to watch as these kids grow. From one week to the next, they might have started crawling or walking or having a toothy smile or saying new words. Zaria loves watching the other kids. Jamin was still home in the morning and my mom had planned to come and give us a ride (so I wouldn't have to walk with Z and I being somewhat sick), so all four of us went. It was really crowded! My mom has come a few times before during the summer session, but it was Jamin's first experience.
