The younger they are, the more natural they are. I volunteer to pay attention to newborns, and it's not as a surrogate of an absent parent-- just as myself, a member of their tribe who loves them, and even newborns totally appreciate it. thanks, spSusanna Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12171292385713491199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075448.post-82734763474126553472009-03-26T11:26:00.000-05:002009-03-26T11:26:00.000-05:00You rock, Cliff!

Your Mama SHOULD be proud, she's raised an intelligent, unselfish man. <BR/><BR/>I used to read so much Dr. Seuss to my daughter (now 20) that I knew some of the stories by heart (my favorite: The Lorax, great lessons to be learned).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075448.post-34697645580226056992009-03-26T07:28:00.000-05:002009-03-26T07:28:00.000-05:00The next step from Twitter is a website where all ...<I>The next step from Twitter is a website where all you have to post is one word entries like “Happy” and “Sad” with the emoticon to go with it.

I'll bet there is a very few these days. They claim they don't have time. How many minutes does it take to read a story to a child? It creates quality time spent with the child and it also helps the child to listen and understand what you are reading about. You and your siblings were read to a lot when you all were children. Don't put the rap in it if they get bored. Try some examples of some cartoons that you have watched. Use something or someone they can relate to. They get enough rap at home.<BR/><BR/>Love and peace,<BR/><BR/>MamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
