Our baby girl Avril likes to sleep with a "lovey." We don't let her do this in bed, for safety's sake. But, when she's in her swing or her bouncy seat, we will give her a burp cloth, a blanket, a tag book or some other toy since we're watching her. If it's big enough, it always ends up over her face while she snoozes. If it isn't big enough to suit her, she fusses until we give her something that does, then she falls asleep behind it.
"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
