I was not one of those people she would sit and let me read to her on rare occasions. I have always had trouble with reading and still do even with some kids books so I guess I don't always make it fun. Halei didn't like sitting to read until she was 3 or 4, and Kat has always liked to sit and read as long as it is a book that keeps her interest. She has been copying what I read a lot more lately and can actually tell you what happens in short books. I try to be sure we have reading time everynight especially since it's required for the girls. Sometimes I forget, or get busy doing other things though.

My grandfather's whole side of the family came over here from Italy...so we know the accent well. It's like going home again! :o) Unfortunately, my kids have trouble understanding him on the phone. I've gotten used to it over the years, but it does take some intense listening to figure out what he's saying. :o) We LOVE reading Tomie books with an Italian accent.
