Just a short snippet of Rachel reading some of the books Brynne has received as gifts, to her. Andy and I believe reading to your children is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child. Growing up, our children will tell you that one of our favourite family pastimes were trips to the local library. As a result, both of our children love reading and we know this tradition will be passed onto our grandchildren.
It's amazing to think just how much babies and children learn from the simple act of reading to them. They hear new words, hear different expressions and emotions and soon they will learn words ... and eventually imitate the sounds they hear, even the inflection of your voice, when they "read" back the story you've read to them a hundred times. Language development is rather amazing, when you think about it! Brynne will certainly learn that reading is a valuable skill, worth learning.
