When was the last time you read them a book? I have been doing it every night for about the last month or so now. It makes me feel good... and the kids love it. I just bought some color and shape, abc, number, and animal books from Sams Club....... we just started those this week.... it has pieces that fit into the book like a puzzle..... each page fits one piece... anyways.. the kids are learning a lot and having fun doing it. Just thought I would suggest to everyone that has kids to take 20 or so mins. out of their night and read to them if you don't already.... or if they are old enough.. have them read to you. Sometimes we forget to do the small things.
