Toddlers and Books

We have a two year old tod, she is always on the go. They used to say that girls are the most easiest and calmest to raise But oh Dear dont ask what happened when i had mine.Though, i have seen a couple of calmest toddler boys.Anyways, this section is not anti toddler girls haha. In fact we will discuss our kids with each other to know how life has changed for us after them(weight wise and otherwise too) and what our kids want and how we are learning to be mothers.

My girl(Fafa(as she calls herself)) is one of those tots who have no interest in toys but OUR STUFF be it remote , jewelry, my husband's spec(the last pair he has), car keys, makeup, ah obsession with sprays and what not.There is one thing that she likes and i will always want that she keeps liking it forever is books.Since It is hard to control F in restrained environment so we have not taken her to library yet. Well i don't even know whether such young tods are even allowed  there but we thought why not collect some books for her since she doesn't even let yellow pages go without surfing through their pages.First book gift she got from the midwives, when they came for her general weight checkup etc.and they brought a package containing two books along with other items(which she chewed on while teething. yes!).Knowing F's destructive nature, i did not want to spend a lot on books because i knew she would either tear them apart or chew them off.

We in the UK have Boot sale every Sunday where you can find pretty good bargain on various stuff. So Basically, i got most of the books from there and pretty cheap too which i am really happy about.Today i wont be sharing her full collection but there are two books that every kid who likes books should have as one of initial books.

These books contain amusing and colorful pictures which a child can enjoy by himself or with parents an added bonus. They are very good for young minds to learn new vocabulary location wise/situation wise. Not only vocabulary but also a reference source for early readers, for spelling, new words and ideas for story telling. I keep one book in a car so that she can read if gets bored
 of seeing outside and Bed time story is we all know the best bonding time for parent and kid.

Most importantly,I don't take these books for granted , nor do i want F to take them for granted. Accidents do happen since she is too young to understand fully that she has to take care of her books. I keep telling her whenever she is being a little too aggressive with page turning or stepping on books sometimes.Whenever she tears some page, i always put some tape on because it is important for her to learn that books are supposed to be kept nice n clean. When she is done reading with them, she will gift it to someone else who likes books.

Happy Reading Mama and Babies<3
