Reading Time
My daughter loves nothing better than sitting down in my lap and reading a book or eighteen. My son, however, did not like to read. He REFUSED to sit down and listen to a story, no matter what I tried! I figured that it was no big deal - that he would listen when he was ready, but when I discussed it with his pediatrician, she told me that I needed to do something immediately.
“Reading to him is extremely important - it doesn’t matter if he won’t sit down, just read! He can be climbing all around the bedroom, but you can sit in the middle and read, right? Or what about reading to him when he’s in the tub? He can’t go anywhere then!”
So I took her advice and started to read to him all of the time. I read to him when we were playing around in the living room - I even read to him when he was having a bath. Soon he began to actually like being read to, and before you knew it he was bringing me books! I still remember the first book he brought me…
I love this book - it has some big words to give your child a true learning experience, beautiful pictures, and a great opportunity to use fun voices.

Wow! When you say the WP support team will still be monitoring servers and services, you really mean it. Last night when I logged in to edit, spell check, and schedule my post, all services disappeared for quite some time. What a time for you to have a server problem! One couldn’t even log out. I finally went to bed and got up at 3 a.m. to schedule the post. Everything was working great then. Hope the problem wasn’t too hard to fix. The WordPress team is really dedicated. Thank you very much. That’s what makes WordPress a truly great place to share with the world.
