He takes after his mama



Attaboy! I'm so proud he can read and swing at the same time. Let's hope William inherited my uncanny ability to read during almost anything without feeling sick. As a child, I read EVERYWHERE - in cars, department stores, at the dinner table (any table really), on boats being tossed around by waves. I didn't know the meaning of motion sickness until I was on a boat for a family vacation in college. Not fun, but staring at the horizon really worked for me.

I spent many an adolescent hour reading Babysitters Club, Sweet Valley Twins/High, Orphan Train Quartet, and Christopher Pike mystery books. I do miss being able to spend hours on end reading. I have only read one non-baby book since William was born. Today I dove back into World Without End by Ken Follett. I am determined to make time to read going forward. This crazy world of technology has sucked me in big-time, and I need to drag myself out of it and get back to the low-tech realm with no flashing banner ads or obnoxious commercials. Not that I won't be checking my email while I read, naturally. You gotta start somewhere.
