reading again, finally.

Ever since I was young, all I would do was read, read, read. My Father started me on a book club when i was around 9 or 10 and they would send me books like ever months, i want to say it was something like 10 books at a time. In High school I read all the time, My favorite book ever that we had to read in High School would have to be "The Color of Water" and "Othello." The last semester I had my entire High School Graduating class of 2002 reading "The Coldest Winter Ever" by Sister Soulja. That is when I became obsessed with African American Fiction. You could always catch me with a book in my hands, reading and walking down the halls of my high school. I read everything from Omar Tyree and Eric Jerome Dickey before the semester ended. My cousin and I shared a few academy classes and we would read the same book at the same time and then discuss them, then pass them on to other girls in our academy class to pass on a good read. We had a thing called Silent Sustained Reading for 20 minutes in the beginning of third period and for me that was English. Mrs. Weigle our teacher was a lil off but really cool. Right now I am reading Eat.Pray. Love By: Elizabeth Gilbert and so far it is amazing, and on deck is A Piece of Cake By; Cupcake Brown. I have noticed my love for reading, and my obsession of the library and book stores has rubbed off on my four year old aswell and it is a wonderful feeling. I always used to read to her in the womb and read to her while she was a toddler. Now that she is four she likes to read to mommy. She likes to make up her stories based on the pictures which most of the time are freakishly accurate to the original text. I'm a proud mommy of an extremely intelligent child. She also loves to draw, she is very well at it. When we get back to california I am going to get her in some painting classes. She has also picked up her first camera, her grammy and grammy got it for her for Christams and it is a big sturdy one that can take a few drops, it has a display and it also records short video. Rigt away she was taking pictures of everything. She is doing such a great job about centering the objects in her pictures, I almost cried, because she is also picking up another thing that Mommy likes to do on her own. Awww. I cant wait til we take walks just the two of use with our cameras. I'm just a very proud mommy, and i want her to pull everything that is great from me and everything great only:)
