Welcome to the  first week of Toddler Talk Thursday! Family and Life in Las Vegas got together with Lolo from Crazy about My Baybah, and we decided to create Toddler Talk Thursday as a place for moms and dads of toddlers to come together over a weekly topic and share ideas, go-to toys or products.  Not to mention it is a great way meet other bloggers of toddlers. Topics will range from Dinner Dos and Disasters, Books, and Bedtime. I encourage you to join in, share what works for you, as well as your toddler’s likes and dislikes.

This week’s topic is Books. We all know that reading is an essential part of your toddler’s learning and development. But what do you do if your Toddler doesn’t show any interest in books other than reading them?

I recently had the brilliant idea of combining Tubby Time with some Story Time. (I am sure I wasn't the first, but it was new to me!) During Tubby Time Squishy is playing in a confined area, where he is free to look at the pages as I read them, or just listen to me reading. I don’t get the book ripped out of my hands, or thrown across the room. Instead I have found I get a child who is actually listening to me read. I have had success with this every time we have done it. Don’t get me wrong, there are certainly times during the day where we read and he is free to turn the pages at will, and grab the books away from me. But I wanted to be sure he had some quite reading time too!

Squishy’s current selections for books include:

Goodnight Moon

I love you Through and Through

B is for Bear

I love you, Goodnight

What are your toddler's favorite books of the moment?

How do you find time to squeeze in quality reading time?
