I took the littles to the library yesterday as we haven't gone in quite a while and we came home with a nice stack of books! I dug in with Bub today after I picked him up from school. I grew up with a love of books and reading instilled in me; I saw my parents read and they always read to us; I still remember our "reading chair". Reading can take you places, especially as a kid while your imagination is wild and new and fresh, that you never dreamed possible! It opens up so many doors and worlds! I want to pass that onto my littles and hopefully they'll pick it up and love it just the same as I do.
I love our library and all the great programs it has to offer for both the kids and myself. (This year, I also plan on taking them to more of our libraries programs.) While the kids were playing and I was looking for a book for us to read together, I came across a program called 1000 Books Before Kindergarten. Bub just started 3-pre-k this year so in just about a year and a half, he should be starting kindergarten. I showed Hubs the informational paper I brought home with us and he pointed out that it's going to be quite a reach. I am well aware of that but I am going to try my hardest to help us meet this goal and frankly, I'm excited about it!! Even if we don't reach our goal, we will have gone on plenty of adventures so it will be well worth it! Will you join us?!
