Both Daddy and I read a lot at home; in the house, we would rather read than to watch TV (we are one of the rare few who don’t subscribe to Astro or satellite TVbecause we’re quite stingy<\/strike>). When we do watch TV, it is mostly the news (for Daddy) and a movie (DVD) for me.<\/p>\n

We introduced books to Zara as soon as she could sit up supported, her concentration span initially was of course very short, not being able to even sit through 1 or 2 pages of picture books. As her understanding of the language and her awareness of her surrounding increased, she starts being able to look at the pages for a longer period, and slowly begins to show more <\/a>enthusiasm. The first book she really love<\/a> was Baby, Boo!<\/a> (the book that actually taught her how to kiss at 8 month old). After Baby, Boo! she seems to show more interest in books, even my novels (she likes to take it and flip the pages to check out what I was reading, probably wonder why I’m so engrossed in books without a single picture).

\nEvery night, before she goes to bed, either Daddy or I will read her 2 books. Most of the time, we asked her to choose her books from her little library; sometimes when we’re bored reading to her the same book over and over again,<\/strike> to provide her with more variety, we picked the books instead.<\/p>\n

Even when there’s no one to read to her, she sometimes would still flip a book and read to herself in her own language.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of her book moments…<\/p>\n
