Wonderful! Doodle Pro does help as well huh? Keep them interested.

Mom2Ashley,
Start soon, with a good book for her age.

Allyfeel,
I introduced VCDs and DVDs to her very early too. But for bed time, it’s always books because it caused less excitement and could calm her down to prepare for bed.
Still not too late to try it on BB. Will still work.

Vanitha,
Thanks for the number.

Two Little Fellas,
Wow, 3 1/2 of walls in a room filled with books. I have always had this decorating idea, to fill the walls of a room with books, but then, in M’sia it’s hard. Because the humidity and the dust will not allow us to store books this way.
Time to take out the books you bought to read to the boys already.

BUT come to think of it-we have not been reading to the kids for quite a while now. hmmm… the buying never stops tho’, just not putting them to good use.

you did a great job!

Initially he would sit thru and listen and flip those illustrative story books but now he can hardly sit still to listen to me. I am still trying to read to him now.

you like? you like means must sponsor I buy book loh. LOL
I thought maybe I should start joining a library already.

Crazymum,
That’s good, you instill the interest in DD early.
Maybe she will make you both books lovers 😛

Jason,
My hubby la. He likes black and white photos.
You ah, got read also mah. Read blogs loh. Still reading.

Jefferene,
Try again with Yee Ching. Initially, Zara was like that too. Just want to grab the book and flip or tear, now, she can sit through a whole book.

LB,
Where’s your collection? Can pass to me?

Fannie,
We are probably nurturing book worms. 😛
Zara loves to watch TV too though. But I only put educational programs on for her now.

Blurblur,
Once you start, it’s hard to turn back hor? Now I bet Damien can’t sleep w/out getting some reading done first.
About the pix, yeah, she was very serious, and mumbling in her own language. Probably doing the ‘reading’.

Ah Pek,
Thank you for your wishes! Oh Kao Satu! YAAAAAAM SEEEENG

Contented Mum,
Qi Ning also the same? Haha. Our next generation all will be very smart one ler like that.

Twin,
Wah, Denisha so clever. Maybe I should teach Zara the clean up song also.
She is also like Darien, just take out from the shelf. Don’t know how to put back. Aigh.

Helen,
That’s also one thing about not wanting to have Astro at home. Like you said, pay already sure kiasu, want to make full use. And the more you use, the more addicted you become (esp those series, watch 1 episode, sure want to watch 2nd, then 3rd, then…. aiyo.. no end).
Cherry blossom? Not yet go to China town to chck out yet. Aigh.

Yvy,
Thank you for your support!
Happy New Year to you too.

Vanitha,
Pink Elephant in Section 16? Can give me the address? Maybe I can go check them out. I normally try to source them from 2nd hand shop.

Jasmine,
Like what I said to Jefferene, you try to read to her again. Start with short stories. Getting the right book is important. Once you get her hooked on the first one, the ones that follow will be easier. She’ll be asking for more and more.

Jesslyn,
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence one. Haha.

The Diva,
Yeah, I read your post about bringing her to the bookshop as well. She seems to like books to!
