Story Time with Miss Leyba

November 30th, 2009

Please join us for story time!

Miss Leyba loves reading her books aloud! Not only does she like to sit in our laps for story time, but she frequently reads aloud to herself (and to anyone else who will listen!). She is especially partial to reading in bed, something David and I are quite fond of too.

Since we read to her every day, and often read the same books over and over again at her request, she has several favorites memorized (such as Goodnight Moon, The Hungry Caterpillar, and I’m as Quick as a Cricket); here are two others for your enjoyment.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

We could read and discuss books all day.

Oh, yeah, we frequently do.

What books are you enjoying right now?

  2. I would like to say (again!) that you are the best mom ever!! Miss Leyba has already developed such an amazing love of books and the vocabulary to show it! It’s such a great moment when she asks to sit in your lap–reading is so clearly a valued and shared time in your family.
