It's reading time...

Our dear little princess loves to read books. Her books are combination of the ones we bought and borrowed (thanks to auntie Katharine Phelps who lends her daughter Layla's books to the mothers and babies at BWC, and of course some books come from the Lending library here). We put together all books that we owned in one place and all the borrowed ones in another pile. Each morning she will come to both set of books and read as much as she can, well she really can't read yet, but knows how to scan each page and looks, points at the pictures and talks (she probably does this 2x or 3x during the day). And of course later you will find most of these books scattered on the floor and couch. We are teaching her to return these books to their proper places, and so far she is learning well and already doing this, same with her toys. Her favorite book now is the biggest book she got full of colorful pictures with Dutch terms that was given to her by Opa Nasser and Oma Yolande.












Here I captured her reactions while papa reads to her at bedtime:

seriously listening to the story about butterflies

and here she reacts and points to the picture

oops..one book is not enough..."here is another one please papa!"

this is a bedtime book about a baby bear who ended up sleeping at mama bear's lap
