Writing and reading

I will start by saying I have always had a love for books. ALWAYS! I am passing that love on to my son. I use to be able to get through a book pretty quickly but now as you moms know not as quick, but I still get the job done. Books are awesome because unlike the internet, magazines, phones ect I feel when I am reading a good book I can not multitask NOR do I want to. I have to force my mind to quiet and focus on what I am reading. I try and read the Bible everyday. I am also reading Born to Run by Christopher Mcdougall. An awesome read about super athletes and insane runners. I like to read fiction, non fiction, or just about anything. I guess my love for reading comes naturally because most of the women in my life share this same love. Especially my mom. My mom is so knowledgeable about books and authors and has ALWAYS shared books with me. My sister, grandmother, aunts, and cousins love books too. I remember borrowing books from my grandmother growing up.
I read to Tanner every night. Every night! Unless I am phsyically not here then I read to him and pray with him. WE talk to God every night and I do not care how tired I am or even if I do not feel like it we do it!! I look forward to it most nights and I believe he does too. We will finish one book and he points to another. Some nights we read four or five and then follow with a Bible story and prayer. I am committed to do this until he moves out of our house and gets married. I hope he lets me. He is a bright child; quick, sensitive, tough, and very active! He is testing his independence and I would not expect anything less. He is my child after all. I am pretty tough myself so I am up for the challenge. But even more importantly God is and has been at the center of our parenting because we invite him in daily. He will not give us more than we can handle with his help. His WORD tells me "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me" ( including a toddler who is testing his limits) :)
