WeReallyRead

Sunday, March 8, 2009

I have nothing of great importance to announce, just that I came and read the posts and remembered how to log in. I'd love to see all of our titles listed, and so I am willing to help gather all of them and put them in.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. I just returned from seeing my niece and great nephew. What a wonderful child. He is so musically inclined for being a 16-month-old. It will be interesting to watch him grow and see if this remains an interest to him. We're already practicing with him for the dance floor at my nephew's wedding in the end of September.

See you soon, Barbara

Granny Dalgas said...: Oh, how nice Barbara! I do think that music and rhythm is inborn into every child, and it is so good that your nephew's talent is being nourished! Keep dancing. I also would love to see all of the titles of the books we've read, and so would Paula Walters - the book club lady for NCRL. We could add it as a sidebar, I think.; March 9, 2009 at 12:58 PM
