One of my baby shower was book themed. Everyone was asked to bring their favorite book from childhood so I could have a copy to read to my baby boy when he arrives. I actually made my Sister-in-Law hold on to two large boxes of kids books for the last few years because they had such a great collection and I wanted them for my kids.
I have every intention of reading books to my kids on a very regular basis. It drives me a bit nuts that my 18 month old nephew is already into Toy Story and Cars as movies. He is 18 months. I can kind of see some of the public television shows but I think it is far too early to be putting a kid in front of a TV or IPad. Then again, this is my first child and who knows what I will end up doing.
