[quote=Anonymous]Yes. But only because my kid cried and screamed if I wasn't talking to her. "Narrating" our day at 3 weeks old felt utterly ridiculous to me alone in the house with her, so I just read to her from whatever book I was reading at the time until she settled and fell asleep. Then I'd stop and read to myself until she woke up and screamed again. I read her Pride and Prejudice, Alice in Wonderland, Unbroken, Water for Elephants, various Harry Potters, among others. Being trapped inside in the winter with a newborn was not my idea of a good time when all she wanted was to hear my voice at every waking moment.[/quote]
