From early into our marriage I learned that Jeff has a great excitement to read books to his children especially longer chapter books that take several sittings to finish. He started reading "chapter books" to Erica when she was about 4 years old and started with simple books like Heidi and Peter Pan. But now they are reading books like The Hobbit, Little House in the Big Woods, Little House on the Prairie, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and Naya Nuki. There have been times when Jeff will have to beg Erica to read to her because she would rather do other things. But for the most part she has been very excited to sit down with her Daddy and read a book together. Just recently she has started to sit down and read books to herself. She is beginning to become quite the reader like her Dad.

That is an awesome thing and something both he and his babies will NEVER regret. What a neat gift.
