Grace Recommends... (part 2)

Here's the latest in our series of posts on books that Grace is loving right now (and which we are sick to death of reading but keep reading because we'd like to encourage her to love books and reading).

Really, Grace likes just about any of the Dr. Seuss board books, but won't sit still long enough for any of the longer ones, so those will have to wait. In the meantime, her current faves are:



The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss
A wacky book of opposites

Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? by Dr. Seuss
All kinds of fun sounds













Now for the audience participation segment of this post -- what are/were your kids favorite books? What are/were your favorite books to read to them? We're looking to extend the library beyond board books, but aren't entirely sure where to begin, so any suggestions are welcome!

A Fall Photo Shoot

Vic and I realized months ago that there was a hole in our family photography. We had pictures of Grace, pictures of Vic with Grace, and pictures of me with Grace, but very few of the family all together. So thanks to a bartering swap of services (graphic design for photography), we recently had a photo shoot with Dawn Hayes of Lifelong Photography. Here are some of the shots of the family, and a few of Grace as well.

Grace's Favorite "Toy"

In search of toys for Grace, who loves to push buttons, my mom recently picked up a small battery-powered radio with a light. Bingo! Instant favorite. We keep it in the car, and thankfully Grace has not yet figured out how to turn up the volume on her "wiwo". The light seems to be her favorite part though. Apparently, despite the ladybug Halloween costume in the photo, Grace is part moth.
