Reading With Parents:
Mom read to me today! We had a lot of fun together. I got to sit in her lap and look at pictures of birds and trucks. Mom showed me the colors, too. Dad helped me point at the animals when he read to me. He told me that a cow says "moo" and a cat says "meow." He made silly noises, and he made me smile big. I love reading with my mom and dad because it means they cuddle with me and teach me new words. Someday, they tell me I'll be able to say and read the words with them. I hope they're right. Reading is so much fun! 



Not Reading With Parents:
I get so excited when my mom and dad hold me because it means I can see their face clearly. I like laying in my swing, but everything is so far away. I can't see anything very well. Looking at pictures is so much fun. If Mom and Dad read to me even more, I would be able to see all the pictures and colors. When I was first born, I only could see basic, black and white pictures. As I get older, I can see colors and shapes. Maybe Mom and Dad don't know I can see these now.
