Reading With Parents:
I love reading with my parents. Mom read me a story about a mouse this morning, and Dad read me one about bugs after we got home from daycare. I liked looking at the pictures of the different colored bugs, and Dad helped me count them. We counted ten bugs on the last page! Before I went to bed, they read me another book with a lot of pictures of animals. I was able to name all but one. I love seeing all the pictures and colors and shapes. Reading is so much fun, and I get to learn so much!


Not Reading With Parents:
I got Mom and Dad to read with me today. They like to read with me, but I think they just get too busy sometimes. When I gave Dad my favorite book, he picked it up and read, but he didn't let me turn the pages. I like looking at the colors and pictures, and I like learning what it all means. I still don't know what everything is, but Mom won't answer my questions. She rolls her eyes when I ask "Why?" and says "Because that's the way it is." I know she knows, but she doesn't like to explain things.
