Was Banner Davut's love for books a result of nature or nurture? It seemed he had a natural inclination to books, but it was also nurtured. At the start of 2012, as Banner was turning 8 months, Kara made a New Year's resolution to read him at least one book a day. We often ended up reading many more than that, but this became a daily practice that continued through Banner's time on earth and right on through to his siblings today.
Kara wrote in Banner's journal as he turned 9 months, "You love having story time with me, and will often choose your books to play with, when given the option to play with any of your toys. You try to grab our books too--Bibles, journals, dictionaries, workbooks, magazines, textbooks, defters, anything!"
Kara also noted in the same entry, "I've had to take away your pop-up and peak-a-boo books and put them out of sight because you rip and tear it to pieces. You're just curious!" This explains why some of the books in Banner's Bookshelf may be taped back together--and these are the ones that survived Banner's childhood!
All the reading fostered Banner's love for books. When he was almost 20 months we recorded that when we read a book to him he would sometimes point at the page and say, "A-B-C-D!" He understood plurals and would say "two rabbits" if there were two in a scene.
I am thankful that Kara made this resolution to read a book a day with the kids and stuck with it. She still does an amazing job reading to our kids, including bedtime earlier this evening!

I've witnessed firsthand how effective it can be to instill a daily reading habit in kids in my own household. Establishing story time as a regular practice fosters curiosity for learning and strengthens relationships in addition to improving language proficiency. I still make an effort to keep up that habit while juggling my obligations and studies. I occasionally seek assistance from top online class helpers in order to manage my workload and maintain books as a central part of my family's everyday routine.
