I have been concerned that Harry had not started reading yet. After all, he was approaching 8 weeks, and the books say you should read to them...The boy seemed to prefer bouncing to reading though. And then we became even worse parents and plopped him in front of his Baby Einstein DVDs for up to 30 minutes a day. I am happy to report that he has finally taken on more literary interests. His favorites so far are Hugs and Kisses, from Uncle Kris & Aunt Jenn (no relation, of course) and Rainbow Fish from his grandmom. Both books are large, so you can block out the rest of the world around him. Hugs and Kisses is about a beagle Casey's First Visit 001.jpg named Hugs who wonders around looking for the best kisses. Rainbow Fish teaches about sharing. It has pages of deep blues and purples with shiny scales. (As many of you may know, Harry is a big fan of the fish on his swing).So, it looks like Harry will be literate after all, and pretty soon he will be reading, on his own, all of those GREAT books everyone has given him!
