hm I read somewhere that it's James's, or at least someone told me I'll have to double check

But in real life we pronounce it as james's so I wonder if that is correct... hmmmm.... like James's pen, not Jame's pen.

I can ask my English Langauge teacher on Monday I guess but in my essays I've always done that and she has never mentioned it.

it would definitely be like this:

James' pen
or Haus' burger

I am so certain.. no second-guessing

I was reading the baby
one chapter every night
of "Old Yeller"
we were almost to the end
when my pitbull chewed the book to smithereens
(probably out of jealousy)
just as well
the ending is too sad

 

[DuhhhBlond]

right now I am reading the original "Bambi" by felix salten to the baby

I really liked The Tinder Box. I'm giong to have to hunt out my books and read them to Imogen. She might be 2 but I always read to her at bedtime.

 

[DuhhhBlond]

studies have shown that even when they're infants,
it builds their reading and comprehension skills..
some mothers even read to them when they're in the womb

I read to my daughter alot when she was little and she loves to read now, shes only 7 and reading at a 3rd grade level. I also think it helps with her spelling.

Dominic won't hold still long enough for me to read to him. Or he wants to read the book by himself and won't let me look at it or point out things. He got a little too independent a little too fast.

 

[AUDRAA]

thats ok Amber if hes looking at the pictures it still helps him, have you asked him to read to you? Kids love that! And stick with it he will come around just keep asking him if you can read to him

Also I loved the Sandra Boynton books for Morgan when she was that age
