We've been reading to Svea since she was only days old. I was amazed that at times she would calmly sit and listen for up to a half hour. Of course, as she's gotten older she won't sit and look at pictures and listen as long, but she has started something new.
For the past week or so, every time we open a book in front of her, she will start jabbering and talking in her own language loudly and above our voices reading to her. At first we thought it might be a fluke, but it's happening every time. Maybe the reading to her has actually paid off and she's made the connection to books.
Each time we open one now, she bursts into her own little monologue of thoughts. We wish we knew what the main idea of her story is, but for now we love listening to her little voice reading to us!
