But then she saw how very much Fifi adores books and she started buying them for her and reading to her too. Toby is going to be an early reader by the sound of it. Well done! And yes, he actually is reading to himself. I love it when they do that!

Several times a day he will come upto me with one of his books, and we cuddle up and read - and he's only just one! He has even started to recognise certain words/pictures and 'attempts' to copy me. Or I will find him sat turning the pages and babbling to himself, as if reading it himself. <br />I think that one of the best things you can do with your child is read and talk to them, not only for learning and development but also for that bond xxx Laura xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07708574932651988574noreply@blogger.com
