I can go on + on about reading for hours + I will probably never run out of words to say {or adjectives to describe it, even}, it is one of my absolute loves, anyway, + even in my hectic schedule as a full time mum, I make it a point to read + finish at least one book a month. Those books help me relax + allow me to escape from the daily grind of motherhood even for just awhile + at a very minimal cost {I need to buy the books, remember? :)}.
Needless to say, I would really love for my little man to get into the habit as well, that is why I make it a habit to buy him books that are appropriate for his age. Apart from that, here are a few of the things I do to make sure the little man grows up to be a bookworm just like mum:
- I make it a habit to read as often as I can myself, so the little man is always surrounded by reading materials, may that be books, magazines, Engagement announcements, + what-have-you’s
- I teach by example that is why my little tot will always find me lounging in the sofa with a paperback in my hands during my down times
- I buy him books to read + place them where he can easily get them whenever he wants to read one.
Promo codes are probably available for children’s books and more.

That’s so true Vix. I did it with both of my kids and they apparently seem to grow smart. Proven with the firstborn who was not only smart but also a deep thinker. 😉 As for the youngest, we’ll soon find out! 😛
i wish my little man will grow up to be as wise as your firstborn, sis 😛
Introducing them to books,is indeed a good head start better than being exposed in TV and online games….Since I am a working Mom I am kinda guilty that TV has been my bunso’s yaya at times – since I really cant monitor him. But nevertheless I am glad that though he is exposed online/TV he has this fondness for books
We are the same mommy Cielo, at times I’d left Jared in front of television just so I can do my laundry or get some other chores done. I also feel very guilty. My little mans has grown too fond of the tv! It was a good thing he still loves his book. But for now, am curbing on the tv time + would let him watch Peppa pig on our computer instead 😛
I also buy books for Ykaie and she seems to love reading too!
