Ha! I remember when dd was not quite 1.5, I was talking to some mom in the neighborhood about how tired I was of reading to dd -- I felt guilty about it, but it was driving me crazy. I didn't go into specifics, and I'm glad I didn't, because it wasn't until much later that I realized that other parents read, oh, 10-15 minutes a day, not the same book three times in a row X 10 books, or whatever ungodly thing she wanted at the time. It got way better when her comprehension and attention span went up and we were able to read more interesting books.
