[blparent] [Bulk] Re: Bedtime Stories...

[Tammy, Paul and Colyn]

Hi,

I do a little of both reading and talking.  When Colyn was small I read to 
him a lot, and he liked to look at the pictures.  Now that he's older we 
read sometimes and sometimes we talk and play.  There are always a couple of 
songs we sing, and he likes to help me make up stories.  It's ayways a bit 
silly, actually, it's very silly, but it is lots of fun and we both enjoy 
it.  Remus loves stories too, and he is starting to smile and giggle at the 
pictures even though he has no idea what they are right now.

Tammy
