Kids Reading!

Keeping a 2-year old’s attention is no easy task. My wife and I hit the jackpot with a boy who loves to read, but it probably didn’t hurt that ever since he was a bright blur on an ultrasound, we’ve been reading to him. When he’s running riot through the house, the sure-fire thing to […]
