[blparent] Bedtime Stories...

Tue Jul 14 00:20:31 UTC 2009

I'm wondering if what you all could try is to start with your little ones 
having an in-the-dark story at bedtime.  Maybe start with books that have 
things to feel.  Not that I could ever have been enticed to see pictures 
since I couldn't see them, but I loved being read to after I was in bed.

If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, five things observe with care:  of whom 
you speak, to whom you speak, and how and when and where.
