I remember my dad always reading novels to me for bedtime, often only getting a few pages read before either of us fell asleep. I can’t tell you all the books he read, but I do remember that this was always our time – whether or not I appreciated it.
Over the past few months I have been reading to Isabel as much as possible (although probably not enough). Mrs. FWL and both grandmas are teachers, so she has a huge bookshelf packed with books. Most of the books are foreign to me, but apparently many are children’s classics. Thus, whenever I start reading a book, or find one on the shelf that I’ve never heard of (or simply don’t remember), Mrs. FWL inevitably expresses her surprise.
However, I look at it as a cool father/daughter moment as we both read the book for the first time. And so when I stumbled upon these pics of babies portrayed as book characters the other day, they reminded me of the many literary moments Isabel and I will create in the years to come. Let’s just hope she enjoys reading as much as her mama!
