Red Rover, Red Rover, send a good book right over!

Anyone who has known me for any given amount of time (even the early years) knows how much I love to read. I am voracious with books. And I hate to part with a good book, it's the main reason that I don't go to the library. Sad, I know. You can always tell when I am really poor and really desperate for a new read... I'm at the library and not Target or Half Price Books.
I was so excited when Scott and I started dating (over 6 years ago!) and I spotted a book on his bedside table. First thought, "He reads!!!" Next thought, "He reads a lot!!!" (It was a series book.) Scott and I talk about books a lot. I've read his, he reads mine. I'm a speed reader who can read, watch tv, and talk to people at the same time (which drives him nuts.) He's a slow reader who mutters the book out loud (which drives me insane!) Scott and I have been reading to Weston since before he was even born. We started his library when I was 6 months pregnant with Scott reading to him all the time. I'm sure Weston loved it, since he always kicked when Scott was reading. Weston's library is growing too. He got 6 books as gifts from friends and family. He got knight-head bookend banks from our friend Traci just the other day. He's well on his way too!
Along the same line of thinking... if you haven't heard, I loves Weston's daycare. They are wonderful, brilliant and by far the best a mother could hope for. Weston and all the other kids are so happy there and I can see the progress each other them makes daily. So obviously, Kris and Todd read to the kids every day. But, they also have someone come into once a month to read to the kids. A program called Red Rover comes into their home and reads a few books to the kids every month. Sometimes she drops off bags of library books for the kids to enjoy until she comes back. Red Rover is a group effort by Scholastic Books (where I just bought Weston his first shipment!!!), local public libraries and Children's Services. It's a wonderful program, and if I didn't need more money to live on, I would so totally do it as a career. Get this - they also leave one book for each child to take home to build their library! Very exciting!
