I personally believe that reading books is a very important part of their education. I have even read studies that indicate that parents should be reading to their children when they are as young as 6 months old. I have tried to read to them since they were in utero. They have been very privileged the last month or so as they have been able to spend a little time with both sets of grandparents and who is better to have read a story to you than a grandparent.  <\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prayingmother\/3214062569\/\" title=\"Storytime with Papa by prayingmother, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3472\/3214062569_871bf88564_o.jpg\" alt=\"Storytime with Papa\" \/><\/a>  \n<\/div>\n<p>\nG&#8217;tums settles on Papa&#8217;s lap for a good story. (As you can tell he really likes his new bicycle helmet.) We all enjoy listening to stories by Papa, because he embellishes them a little and leaves at least the adults laughing with his word twists.  <\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prayingmother\/3214062427\/\" title=\"Storytime with Nana by prayingmother, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3337\/3214062427_7af27cd342_o.jpg\" alt=\"Storytime with Nana\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">The big kids cuddle with Nana in her bed for a good story. Nana is one of the best readers in the world. She loves reading stories to people. She&#8217;s even taken the time to record some chapter books on to CD for us to listen to. We all love them.  <\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prayingmother\/3214909978\/\" title=\"Storytime with Grandpa by prayingmother, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3395\/3214909978_26925910a6_o.jpg\" alt=\"Storytime with Grandpa\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Even Grandma enjoys listening to Grandpa&#8217;s reading. Grandpa took the time to read a whole book to the whole family. Grandpa is the best at making strange noises and heavy accents for the different people or animals that he&#8217;s reading about. You can&#8217;t help but take time to listen to Grandpa read a story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My children love stories.
