HAVING FOUR GROWN CHILDREN AND ONE GRANDCHILD I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO PICK A FAVOURITE READING MEMORY! I GUESS MANY OF YOU WILL BE IN THE SAME PREDICAMENT!ALL READING MEMORIES WITH YOUR CHILDREN ARE SPECIAL! A FEW SPECIAL MEMORIES COME TO MIND...
MY OLDEST SON AT 3 WANTED THE SAME STORY READ AT LEAST 3 TIMES A DAY! I DON"T REMEMBER THE EXACT BOOK TITLE BUT MY SON LIKED IT FOR THE FUNNY PRASE IT CONTAINED- "AND THERE IN THE WOODS A PIGGYWIG STOOD WITH A RING IN THE END OF HIS NOSE!" HOW HE ALWAYS LAUGHED AT THAT PHRASE!(ANYONE KNOW THE BOOK TITLE?)
MY MIDDLE SON ACTUALLY ENJOYED LISTENING TO STORIES WHICH I CREATED MYSELF! IT STILL INSTILLS A LOVE OF READING IN A CHILD AND CREATES MANY HAPPY MEMORIES! IF YOU DO THIS THOUGH "REMEMBER" YOUR STORY AS YOU MAY BE ASKED TO REPEAT IT!
MY YOUNGEST SON PARTICULARLY LIKED A NINJA TURTLE BOOK AS PIZZA WAS HIS FAVOURITE FOOD,ALSO!
MY FAVOURITE READING MEMORY WITH MY DAUGHTER IS NOT READING TO HER BUT RATHER THE REVERSE! ONE OF THE GREATEST JOYS OF BEING A PARENT IS TO SEE THE LOOK OF ACCOMPLISHMENT ON YOUR CHILD'S FACE WHEN THEY
ACHIEVE A GOAL! WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS ONLY ABOUT 3,SHE WAS SO PROUD TO READ TO ME A BOOK WHICH SHE LOVED! I DON'T THINK SHE REALLY KNEW THE WORDS BUT SHE HEARD IT SO OFTEN SHE MEMORIZED IT AND COULD TURN THE PAGES AT THE CORRECT MOMENT!
MY GRANCHILD LIVES IN ANOTHER PROVINCE SO MY FAVOURITE READING MOMENT WITH HIM WAS ON MY FIRST VISIT TO HIS HOME WHEN HE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO APPRECIATE A STORY! I ALWAYS COMPOSE AND E MAIL STORIES TO HIM WHEN I CAN'T BE WITH HIM! ACTUALLY THESE STORIES LED TO THE CREATION OF "CHILDREN'S PERSONALIZED E STORIES!"
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING YOUR SPECIAL READING MEMORIES!
