I remember filling this little bookshelf up with books before Augustine was even here, before we even knew if we were having a boy or a girl. Books have a very special place in my heart and my life. I really love to read, and while I don’t have as much time to read for myself these days, I love this season of life where I’m reading to my baby. We read books all the time and whenever Augustine “asks” us to. I love opening the pages, reading the words, making up our own stories about the characters, asking him questions and watching him process one page after the next. It’s an amazing thing to witness him comprehend and learn through our reading time.
I’ve been wanting to share this post about the books that Augustine enjoys the most. These are books that we read daily. Augustine will bring these books to me, “ask” me to read and reread them, and most importantly they capture his attention. For reference, Augustine is 16 months old! I hope some of you mamas find this list helpful. Or if you’re looking for a gift to get a new mama, I can’t recommend these enough. Some of these books were shower gifts even!VIEW POST
Every year Matthew and I wait until the last minute to plan our Halloween costumes. Ironically, we figure out what we want to be the next year right after Halloween. Then we forget and scramble. {of course!} Last year though, I was determined to plan earlier. Of course, being a new mama time escaped me, and I resorted to rush shipping. Thank you, Amazon.
