Books we Read:

Love you forever by Robert MunschI don’t know if it is just me… but I find this book–Love You Forever a little creepy. Would a mother really go in the middle of the night and cuddle her 30 year old son while he sleeps and sing to him the way she did when he was two months old???? Although the ending of this story is really touching, but I did not like this book one bit and only read once to the boys.

As the days go by Lily tries again and again, and when Valentine's Day finally arrives, she has a heart for each day of the week! Which one will be the perfect valentine surprise for Mommy?

This sweet, simple story introduces the days of the week, as well as the special tradition of creating handmade valentines. A foldout page displays Lily's final creation. teaching of days and shapes
