There’s something new on every page!
I’ve written often about reading with your baby, noting that - at the very earliest stages - it’s okay to start small (a minute or less) and not to get too discouraged if your baby spends more time attending to your face than the book itself… Or even expresses greater interest in chewing on a board book than reading it.
But today let’s see the flip side of this coin!
I couldn’t help but be taken by just how engaged this little guy is with the book dad is sharing - his eyes wide and laser focused and his face lighting up with delight over the surprises revealed on every page. (Accentuated, of course, by his father’s melodic and enthusiastic narration.)
It’s not where all children begin (so, again, don’t be discouraged if your baby doesn’t react with the same initial interest and enthusiasm) but it sure is fun to see.
And rest assured that with age and exposure, your baby will get there too!
Read, read, read with your baby.
