Reading is boring (sometimes). I have to admit I have more than once hidden my toddler&#39;s very worn copy of Dr. Seuss;s ABC because I couldn&#39;t handle reading it for the 12th time in one day.caribookscoopshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10728619625250060244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-71085336405908612792010-03-15T02:14:13.180-04:002010-03-15T02:14:13.180-04:00Ha!

I can still remember reading &quot;Silly Sally&quot; with my eyes closed - we&#39;ve all read books so many times that we have them memorized. But, yes, there is always Mommy&#39;s Choice. After all, we set the rules. Thanks for a fun reality check and reminder that life is not always like the Brady Bunch, full of happy smiles.Mary Ann Scheuerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09592162867997740561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-90237795875571808462010-03-13T13:24:51.073-05:002010-03-13T13:24:51.073-05:00MotherReader:<br />Wonderful and on point! My three year old tires me out with the reading request. On one hand it is great to see their imagination and intellect come alive through reading. But on the other the boredom, impatience, repetitions. Thanks for the post. Love your blog.
