My Baby Can Read!

Ok, maybe not, but he loves books! Look at that little smile! In antenatal classes one day, the leader said that while babies are still in the womb, we're teaching them how to deal with stress. The baby get's mom's stress hormones, then she reacts however she generally does to destress (eat, take a bubble bath, or in my case, read), and baby then gets the endorphins from the destressing activity. In that way, the leader said, we teach our babies how to react to stress. I thought it was funny because apparently that meant I was teaching Zak how to read while he was still in the womb. No wonder he's so smart!
