Baby L. learned to grab things just about a week ago. She loves to grab at her toys, and especially at books. She must get her love of books from her mama!
I love it when she wraps her little fingers around the outside edges of her board books - It looks like she's about to turn a page! So cute! It's her first step toward developing concepts about print!
Plus it’s just fun to say "Good Puppy!" on every other page. Indigo, our dog, loves hearing those words too! He’s never far away when I’m reading to Baby L., and his little ears perk right up when he hears us reading that one. Pretty soon he'll be turning the pages too! Good puppy.
P.S.
L. is not the only baby who loves her touchy feely books, either. Here's another mom's post on a boy, a book & a dog. Mama L & Little D love their textures (and their dog) just as much as we do!
i love reading with the earliest of readers!
ReplyDeleteI think we definitely need to add Good Puppy to our collection! Have you seen any of the Manhattan Toy soft books? I did a post on them last week...lots of great textures and colors...our guy loves them.
ReplyDeleteHa! I should have known that you would have a similar post! The Manhattan Toy books look so cute. I'll have to get one for Lily! I added a link to your post above : )
ReplyDeleteAll books should be touchy feely! (my inner child speaking)
