Mama Finishes Reading This Book To Her Adorable Little Baby. Now Watch His Unexpected Reaction!

The love of reading and being read to, is really a consequence of parents reading to babies from the time they are born.  Reinforcement of kids feeling that books are as much fun as screen time, is a matter of consistently keeping up a fun interaction with your kids and books, until it becomes intrinsically valued.

The fact that this is not happening in many homes, is reflected in the 2015 study by Scholastic and YouGov, which found a 10% drop since 2010 in the number of children who said they love or like reading books for fun.  The adorable little baby you are about to watch, is indicative of how kids start off loving books; in fact this little sweetheart can’t bare it when the book is over.

He listens to his mom reading with wide-eyed attentiveness, even though he is still in diapers.  He hangs on every word, looking at the pictures, into his mother’s eyes and then back again at the book.  He is enraptured as he listens and then the worst thing happens; the book is finished!

He is heartbroken, and begins to cry with such intensity.  He retrieves the book and hands it back to mom, so she will read it again and again and again! Watch what happens each time story time begins and ends.  The video is just adorable and reassuring that the love of reading is an intrinsic pleasure in children, that just needs to be cultivated.

The baby’s wonderful mom has asked people who enjoyed this video to let others know about the website, http://travelingstories.org.  Their purpose is to promote literacy among children which will hopefully inspire parents to help their children to maintain their love of reading.

It would be a shame for little bookworms like this darling baby to lose the feeling that books are fun.

Mom Says Nope He Can’t Sit On Her Lap In The Car. The Pup Then Throws The Funniest Hissy Fit!

Dogs share a lot of things in common with little kids, especially puppies. They both love to eat, sleep, poop, play, and every once in awhile they throw a temper tantrum. If you have a pet you know that they either love the car or hate it. In most cases dogs tend to love road trips while cats would rather avoid a car ride at all costs. However as with most things in life there are always exceptions to the rule.

It’s inevitable but sometimes their little hissy fits are more adorable than they are annoying! That’s how Napoleon’s tiny tantrum turned out in this home video that his foster mom shot. Napoleon is the cutest and most precious little Dachshund I have ever seen.  With that being said Napoleon and his mama were in the car one day, with mama in the driver’s seat and him riding shotgun beside her.

Napoleon really wanted to curl up in her lap and snuggle but she wouldn’t let him sit there because it’s simply not safe. The poor puppy was still too young to understand her well-intentioned “no” so he protested against it in the cutest possible way that he could! Napoleon whimpers and whines as he cries his way through the short clip!

The black and tan little fuzz-ball moves around unsteadily on his tiny legs and smooshes his face into the seat while giving his saddest puppy eyes to the camera. He makes the most adorable faces, especially when he sticks out his tongue and cries like a baby, which he does several times! He really knows how to work his sweetness to his advantage because all that adorableness would be super hard to say no to.

In the end, mom’s word is law. Safety first means he stays where he is, besides she doesn’t want him to form any bad habits, especially in the car! Watch the video below and enjoy the adorableness. This sweet pup is guaranteed to melt your heart.  Just look at that precious little face. Napoleon is the cutest puppy I’ve seen all day!

Mama Put A Hidden Camera In This Room. THIS Is What The Camera Caught The Dog Doing To The Baby!

When parents bring a newborn home for the first time it can be exciting and overwhelming, especially when it’s time for the new baby to meet the fur babies in the house. The initial introduction is crucial and it’s important to make sure that babies and pets get along well together.

Pets who live and share a house with babies need to be comfortable with them and supervised bonding moments are one of the best ways to acclimate animals to babies. Sometimes parents are apprehensive and unsure about how their dog will react to a new baby.

Scott Moore and his wife thought that it would be best to keep their newborn and Beagle apart for a couple of months before the two met face to face. They wanted the dog to be used to the new living situation it was suddenly thrust into, and adjusted to all the different sights, smells, and sounds that come with a baby.

When the time came for the pair to finally meet, it was love at first sight. The adorable dog first sniffed the baby, then walked off a few steps and plopped on his back with his paws up in the air. As the baby started to crawl towards the dog he flopped back over, wagged his tail, and wiggled closer to the child.

The beagle was sweet and submissive as he got down low on the babies level and lowered his head so the kid could touch and pet him. It’s clear from watching this that the dog is accepting and loving towards his new friend as he gently snuggles and licks the months old baby, all the while being very careful and never rough around it. Any parent would love to see this ideal type of interaction between a baby and the family pet!

Parents can help foster such a relationship, so long as they prepare and plan for the eventual meeting. From a dog’s perspective a new baby in the house is life altering, the family routine becomes strikingly different, and less attention is paid to pets since newborns require constant care.

There are several important ways to prepare and introduce family dog(s) to babies that can make the transition easier for everyone involved. Below are some key points on what you can do, but keep in mind that there are additional tips and suggestions that can further help guide you, and put your mind at ease.

First, the dog needs to be taught, and know well, basic social skills on how to safely interact with people. Obedience training is key if you want your pet to truly listen and follow your commands. At the first meeting between a dog and newborn choose a calm, quiet room and try to eliminate as many distractions as possible.

Always hold the baby and supervise the interaction; never let a dog be alone with an unfamiliar baby. Always avoid scolding or yelling at the dog because they will negatively associate it with the child. Instead, reward them for good behavior, speak gently and try to relax as much as possible.

Dogs take cues from their owners and can pick up on subtle emotions. Once you get a feel for the situation, guide it from there. Even if the pair don’t hit it off right away stay positive, because getting used to changes and new people often takes time.

This Puppy Gives Himself A Bath. But What The Camera Caught Him Doing After Is So Funny!

Who doesn’t love a golden retriever puppy?  I mean all puppies are cute, but in my humble opinion Golden Retrievers corner the cuteness market!  Brady, the Golden Retriever puppy whom you are about to meet in this adorable video, is one of those puppies who just loves taking baths.  Many puppies get scared, but Brady is the exact opposite.

It’s not the fact that he loves taking baths that makes Brady so unusual, however… He loves taking baths all by himself!! I’m not kidding.  He stays in the tub as long as possible, lapping up every  last bit of water, as he watches it go down the drain.

He hops out of the tub on his own.  You would think he’d shake the water off and go on his way.  Not Brady! You have to watch how he manages to wrap himself perfectly in his bright pink towel and goes into his bed, perfectly covered up and relaxed for his after-bath nap!  This footage of this sweet, smart puppy is priceless.

Daddy Tells His Little Girl She Isn’t Allowed To Have A Boyfriend. Now Watch Her Adorable Reaction!

Dads always tend to be very protective of their daughters when it comes to boyfriends, and girls usually prefer that their dads to stay out of the matter.  Apparently this controversy can start at a really young age as you are about to see in this adorable video, that will tickle you.

Little two-year-old Kennedy announces to her parents that she has a boyfriend named Jared.  The Copeland, Alabama toddler’s dad, is none too happy to hear about this.  The parents video their conversation with Kennedy.

Dad keeps teasing Kennedy that she doesn’t have a boyfriend…she’s “not allowed to have a boyfriend till [she’s] fifty!”  All that little Kennedy hears is that she doesn’t have a boyfriend, and the adamant little girl is a bit crushed and defiant!

No matter what her dad says she insists that Jared is her boyfriend and she is not pleased with her dad’s denial of this fact.  This is serious emotional business to Kennedy, and she sticks to her story.  Although her parents were really amused at her reaction at such a young age, dad may have to learn not to push it once his daughter gets emotional about her beloved!

It’s no wonder this video has gone viral, as she so emotionally let’s her dad know this is no joke and he’d better watch his teasing in the future!  What do you think? Did Dad go too far in his teasing given how  she reacted?

This Pup’s Baby Sister Is About To Crawl For The First Time. Now Watch The Dog’s Reaction!

Tongue out and with a wide grin, this little girl is determined to make it to her beloved pup. The chocolate lab licks her lips in anticipation, eager for the arrival of her little human friend. Giggles and coos come from the excited baby as she inches closer to her pet.

Happy attempts result in belly flops, each successively nearer to the destination. The dog steadily holds the baby’s gaze as the distance between them slowly shortens.Hands, knees and tenacity keep the baby moving and as she closes in on the finish line, her task becomes serious and her focus even stronger.

Once the baby is in reaching distance, the lab can’t wait any longer and straightens her legs to welcome the little treasure with a big wet kiss. Nose to nose, the two best friends share a moment of mutual appreciation and pride.

This precious event is graciously captured for us all to see. It takes a very well behaved dog to allow for, and participate in, such antics. Even the best pets will often get protective when little creatures approach them.

It can take a long time for an animal to accept a new family member, and even longer for the pet to truly love them instead of just tolerating them. It seems that this family has been gifted with two peas in a pod and their relationship has only just begun. This is a heartwarming interaction to witness and will be cherished by the family forever.
