Reading to My Belly

I ran a bunch of errands today.  I got a book that I didn’t really want for Christmas so I went to the store and exchanged it for some baby books.  When I got home I read them all to my belly.  Not sure if it’s true but I read that reading to your belly helps baby after its born to be familiar with your voice and that some studies even suggest the babies recognize the stories later in life.  I got the baby a couple Little Golden Books.  I remember reading those when I was a kid.  And also, The Giving Tree.  I loved that story as a kid too. 

For lunch I had kind of a strange craving.  I ate an almond butter and Fluff sandwich with black bean soup.  Fluff is an east coast thing (basically a marshmallow spread).  The black bean soup was a little bit spicy.
