Like you, and many that read and write blogs, I'm a very hard core reader. Have been since five or so. It please me to no end to see Little Bit's growing love of books. She reads to me each morning on our morning ride to school. I pick her up at her parents home and within minutes of hitting the road she has a book in her lap. Thank you.<br /><br />Pissed, thank you for the kind words...and I hope too our bond is never broken. In answer to your question, yes, I do tell her others in the world know and love her. It befuddles her. She will ask, 'why, Papa?' I show her the blog and she, I swear, turns red...<br />Had a nice man and wife team from Russia send an email a few weeks back...read it to Little Bit, took an atlas and placed her finger on Russia...she said, "Papa, are they lost."<br /><br />Thank you very much for your kind words.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752401490789789451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-66615719629083587462011-11-09T05:48:59.652-05:002011-11-09T05:48:59.652-05:00Stephen , I do enjoy reading these posts about you...Stephen , I do enjoy reading these posts about you and your granddaughter. I hope that the bond you are creating is never taken away. <br /> <br /><br />I was wondering if you ever told her that you tell your blog friends about her, and she has many people that follow her stories you post :)<br /><br />Thanks as always for sharing, it does take a special person to show the love and caring that you do.Irishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09772405362867585844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-6751961561739412352011-11-08T21:43:17.830-05:002011-11-08T21:43:17.830-05:00She is just the cutest thing ever.

They all tended to read, voraciously, and with speed. And by speed I'm not meaning speed reading by skimming, but actually reading. I hope the book bug bites her hard as well, and that she is allowed, encouraged even, to explore and learn on her own. It helps develop real intellect, and hopefully understand on her own when/how the system is feeding her bunk trying to mold her into a sheep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-3717551093804055252011-11-08T11:38:34.116-05:002011-11-08T11:38:34.116-05:00Little things mean a lot.
