I have a weakness for books (among many other things). I LOVE them. I can't resist buying them and bringing them into our home, especially if it's books to share with my boys and if they are books that I read and enjoyed as a child. I have recently introduced the kids to some of my childhood favorites: Amelia Bedila, Sideways Stories From Wayside School, Miss Nelson's Class Series and I tried to get Jacob to let me read The Chocolate Touch to him, but he thought a boy who could turn everything to chocolate with one touch sounded creepy. Yet, Harry Potter doesn't intimidate him one bit. Hmmm.
One of my favorite things to do with the boys is go to the bookstore and let them pick out their very own book to bring home to our ever-growing collection. It is so fun to see what type of book interest them. For Jacob, it is usually Star Wars & Harry Potter these days. Hunter is still holding strong with cars, but has recently become acquainted with the world of dinosaurs. I enjoy reading to them on the nights that aren't too crazy around here (on those nights we skip story time). I grew up with 12 siblings, so storytime with my mom did not exactly happen! Yet, I still grew up with a strong love of books (even though I haven't had much time to enjoy that hobby myself lately). I hope my kids will continue their love of books as they grow older and outgrow our story time.
