There are a few books that we've been given, that we don't even read. I know it's too early for the kids to even understand what we're reading, but it still bothers me.Twinside Outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215174603290252448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2690935211287966710.post-8850351689924864172011-05-27T19:58:31.815-05:002011-05-27T19:58:31.815-05:00My husband and I talk about it all the time!
