It's so great to see a child enjoy reading!
So nice to see children reading. I cringe when seeing children doing nothing but play video games or watch TV. I love both myself, but a good book is far more fun and interesting.
Lovely quotes.
Great post Nydia.
Have a nice weekend.

Oh Nydia, these pictures are just precious!! They speak volumes, but you've chosen the perfect quotes to go with them. LOVE THIS POST!! love to you and Lucas as well!
This post is awesome...the quotes, the books, but especially Lucas and your Mom reading together......brings tears to my eyes....too beautiful. TOB Linda
Great pictures. I'm in agreement, CW I think will be my reader. I could read to him for hours. Ivan is still small but he has started requesting it.
Priceless is right. :) There's nothing more wonderful than a good book, and even better is a child who loves to read!!
Ah Just wonderful!
It is clearly amazing to see a child read
Blessings
Such a great post and photos! Reading is one of those things that happens slowly then you take off! I bet he has seen you read a lot and his grandma so he knows that reading is a great thing.
Oh Nydia, these photos are indeed priceless!
It has been so much fun watching Lucas grow up through your blog. I just heard a surprising (to me at least) statistic. On the radio there was a report stating that the "average" Canadian did not read any books for pleasure last year. Being an avid reader, that is so hard to understand. I always have a book or two going just for the fun of it and to learn new things. I would hate not to be able to read for pleasure. - Margy
