One of the things J and Meliss had people do for the shower last weekend was bring a Children's book for our nursery in lieu of a card with their gift. I got the chance to really look at them this week and I absolutely loved going through each one. Many of them had written messages in them from their giver and I look forward to telling our baby about each special person as he grows up reading all of these stories.
I couldn't find a picture of the incredible book Mifumi brought, but this is another book by the same author, Yuuichi Kimura. The one she brought us is called Itadakimasu Asobi and it's all about food and eating. It's in Japanese, has vivid pictures and is interactive. Blane loved it! Haha. I'm sure our baby will too <3
My college roommate Mads brought these two. I love the story of Corduroy because it shows that the teddy bear has feelings and my Mom and I have always believed in that :). Madeline because, well, it's her namesake! (minus a missing "e" :)
Goodnight Moon was my favorite book of all time growing up and Dawn gifted it to the baby this time around. I wonder if he will like it as much as I did? We shall see!
Mrs. S gifted us with this classic. She bought the cardboard one that will be perfect for little hands. So thoughtful!
Nona brought this book because it's the only book she can remember her Dad reading to her as a child. <3 If our son is anything like his Dad, then just the fact that the word "dog" is in the title will be enough to spark his interest.
I love reading and I hope to instill this same love in our baby too. I'll share more of the other books we got in another post. Until then, happy reading to you all!
