Ethan is really soaking up his environment now, so we're trying to teach him the importance of books. Some might think we're crazy, but we also do flash cards at least once a day; Ethan usually sits in my lap while Pat shows him the card. He holds them near his face, pronounces the word and points out the photo. Most of the time, Ethan giggles, thinking Pat is playing peek-a-boo with him. Either way, it's a great time for all of us!
We also frequently sound out basic words (Ba... book, ball, baby, etc.). I'll consider both a success if he learns to get some enjoyment out of learning. Education is important to both of us, so we want definitely want to pass that along to our children.
