Between one and a half and two, Taylor loved sitting in our laps to read books before bedtime, the more books we read the happier he was. When Taylor turned 2 years old he really didn't want to read any books before going to bed. We went through a period of 4 months when all he wanted to do was play, play, play before bed. Well slowly but surely we have been inching our way back to "the love of books". At one point we had to actually move the books out of his headboard bookcase because he wouldn't go to sleep-just sat in the dark looking and talking about books by himself for an hour. Ever since Taylor turned 3, we've been reading books curled up in his bed before bedtime, and everyone in the family is loving it. At this time he can't seem to get enough! He also takes 2-3 books to bed with him and reads to himself and then quietly falls asleep when he's done reading-such a drastic change from 6 months ago. It's so funny how he even remembers the little extra parts that we add into his books. I'm sure that Taylor is probably just going through a language boost and that the pendulum can swing back at any moment, but boy are we enjoying this second round of LOVING books and learning letters!!
