Dear Reed,

Reading, as they say, is fundamental, and you should know that in that regard, we are a fundamentally sound family: our home abounds in bounded texts. From an early age, your sister took to the written word, and you certainly have shown a similar proclivity. You are lucky to have a sibling who loves to share her love of reading with you, and we are lucky to have children who share this fundamental interest.

Your mom and I are looking forward to the day when we are all sitting in our living room or the library or a coffeehouse, each of lost in the worlds and knowledge that books open up for us. (And you have permission to yell at me to stop being distracted by all the unplayed Scrabble games on my cell phone, and that I need to return to the family activity at hand.)

Love,

Daddy
