starting a tradition...........
ok, maybe tradition isn't the correct work, more like routine. but when i go to turn this into a scrapbook page, "tradition" is a much better title than "routine."
ANYWAYS.
and that routine/tradition is
reading to baby before bed. a tradition with me and steve and baby.
my good friend Erin sent us Oh, baby, the places you'll go! by Dr. Seuss - a book to be read in Utereo. (very similar to The Places you'll go, also by Dr. Seuss, who became fasicinated with the discovery that a baby in utereo will recognize its fathers voice if the father reads to the baby while in utereo. something like that)


Steve also read in one of his daddy to be books that i bought him, that its good to start a routine with the baby. to tap the belly and let the baby know that you're going to read. so thats just what he does.
"tap tap- time for a story baby" (he rubs my belly and kinda taps it while he says this)
so cute
we dont' read it every every night, but a couple of times a week. i can tell steve really likes it, it gives him a way to be close to the baby. i know that a lot of times dad's can feel left out when the wife is pregnant because the mom and baby have all this bonding time that the dad can't be apart of. so this is a perfect way. defiently reccomend it to any parents to be, and thanks to erin for the book!!!
