The joy of reading

I went for an introductory talk on children's literacy development this afternoon. You must be wondering why this mother-to-be is so kiasu, especially when baby Emma is still not out in the world yet, so she's still not able to read anything yet... but hey, her ears are fully developed at this stage, so she can actually hear what's going on in the world around her. Wouldn't it'll be good for her to be exposed to stories now? heheh. It's never too early to let her discover the joy of reading, so I've actually ordered 2 cloth books (Noah's Ark & My First Prayer Book) on the internet for her. =)

Talking about reading, I've borrowed 3 books from the library to prepare me for motherhood. The titles are:
1) Baby Girls: An Owner's Manual by Theresa Foy Digeronimo, M. ED.
2) Your Baby's First Year by Johnson's
3) The Complete Sleep Guide for Contented Babies and Toddlers by Gina Ford

I'm halfway through the 1st book, and boy, did this book open my eyes up for motherhood! The responsibility of nursing and nurturing a young one seems overwhelming... but then, yet exciting... I don't know if I'll be able to be a good mother, but I'll definitely try my best (God help me! hahah).
