He happened upon it while we were grocery shopping one day when I was pregnant. He'd slipped it in the suitcase I brought with me and read it to her after her first feeding. The funny thing is he left all the subsequent reading to me.

I really enjoy doing mother-daughter things with her, and I figure since she's growing up fast, I better enjoy it while I can.<br /><br />Sandy: I hope you and Emma can participate in the Oct. read-a-thon! I'll cheer you both on!<br /><br />Naida: Thanks! I'll be posting our <I>Coraline</I> review tomorrow.<br /><br />Lisa: Thanks! I fell asleep, too, but at that point I was too tired to care. lol<br /><br />Blodeuedd: Thanks!<br /><br />jacketsandcovers: Thanks!<br /><br />Dar: Thanks! Your hero comment made The Girl's day. I'm not surprised she's a bookworm...I read to her before she was born and never stopped. And my husband read to her in the hospital when she was born. He'd had the book picked out for months. :)<br /><br />Serena: October at your place sounds good! I knew she'd beat me, but that made it fun for her.<br /><br />Tanabata: Thanks! I'll be reviewing <I>Guernsey</I> next week.<br /><br />Nise': Thanks!<br /><br />Bermudaonion: Thanks! We had the best time for sure.<br /><br />Jeannie: Hardcore! LOL That just cracks me up for some reason. Maybe I need more sleep. ((HUGS))<br /><br />Erika Lynn: We did! Thanks!<br /><br />Red lady-Bonnie: It would be great to participate with your son. I think it's a great event to share with kids...they're reading and they're excited about staying up late.<br /><br />Trish: Thanks! Serena and I seem to do everything else together, why not the read-a-thon, too? LOL<br /><br />Janel: The Girl loves the <I>Diary of a Wimpy Kid</I> books. We got the new one the day it came out at Sam's Club for $6. Hard cover, too. I made sure she knew how lucky she was. lol<br /><br />Alaine: That's great that you shared it with your daughter, too. I hope when The Girl is 23, she'll still love reading and hanging out with her mom. :)<br /><br />Teddy Rose: Thanks!<br /><br />Dawn: Thanks! We love having Serena around. The Girl especially because Serena spoils her. LOL<br /><br />Kathrin: Thanks!<br /><br />Wanda: Thanks! The Girl can't get enough of the <I>Bad Kitty</I> books.
