Working It

Em passed on to me this cute little meme about what my kid reads.

As most followers of my blogs know, my Ninna loves to read. She doesn’t have a lot of toys, you see, because we usually give them away or send them back home every time we have to move. Books, however, are a different story. She has a huge Sterilite (nope, no shelves) of books which I and hubby painstakingly always take with us whenever and wherever we go.

Here in our new apartment, I gave Ninna her very own “Reading Nook”.

Set at the brightest corner of our cave, she has her own little sofa (which converts to a bed), a pillow (which she sometimes uses as an ottoman), a reading lamp, and, as you can see below, her bin of books (which, in the interest of my sanity, contains only her current fave reads).

On left side of the bin are books that she chose herself - Dora, Disney Princesses, and Dr. Seuss books - although, she favors the Dr. Seuss books more now (I do, too).

On the right side of the bin are the activity books that have I bought for her, mostly coloring and preschool skills books.

Thank God for the public library, though! I no longer have to buy her any books because we (and I mean the both of us!) really take advantage of the literary treasures we have on hand. In fact, Tuesday is our library day and, every week, we always happily take home two books each. :)

Here’s what we have and will be reading for bedtime all week this week.

First, there’s Lakas and the Makibaka Hotel (Robles/Angel), a bilingual English-Tagalog book which we borrowed yesterday and Little Neighbors on Sunnyside Street (Spanyol), which I probably will get a copy of from the bookstore because Ninna and I love it so much. :)

If there’s one thing that I really wish Ninna will build a lasting relationship with, I hope it will be with books. So then I won’t be the only bookworm (with a magnetic bracelet) in the family. :D

How about you, Mommy Maver, Weng, Mel, Dyes, Maricris, Pinky, Ris, and Tin? I’d also like to know what your kids read, too! :)
