A Special List for Our Soon-to-be

So I'm a fan of lists. When I'm not working, writing, cleaning around the house, grocery shopping, or slightly helping with dinner I find myself making lists.  I'll make a list of groceries we'll need to get over the weekend.  I'll make a list of movies that I want to see.  I'll make a list of books that I want to read.  I'll make a list of meals that I'd like to prepare.  You get the idea.

I've been thinking about children's books recently and would love to create a huge list of books that Meghan and I can start reading to our baby or at least her stomach for now.  Fortunately, I have some great friends and family that have helped me with this list.  They've mentioned books like:

• Oh, the Places You'll Go!
• Love You Forever
• Frog and Toad Are Friends
• The Giving Tree
• Good Night Moon
• Where the Wild Things Are

This is a completely different list than what I normally create and I want this list to be much larger.  I want stacks and stacks of books for us to read to our baby.  I'm so excited to read stories and fairy tales that I either can barely remember or not at all.  I wasn't a big book reader when I grew up, but it's one of my favorite things now.  And soon, I will be sharing one of my favorite things.  It's a unique feeling to know that you'll be reading to a little baby.  I'm excited.  And hopefully our baby won't hate the sound of my voice, haha.

If you have any suggestions on children's books or fairy tales that I should add to my list, I'll be more than happy to jot them down.  Now, back to my list.
