I read Guess How Much I Love You and sobbed at the end! Room on the Broom doesn't quite do it for me though, fortunately!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1115747 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 01:47:43 +0000 illumina 1115747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't read to her yet, but I sung to her yesterday and I was crying so much I couldn't get the words out! Only songs I could think of at the time were Xmas ones, so I sung Away In A Manger over and over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1115609 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 22:26:30 +0000 StrawberryBee 1115609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: Reading childhood books are definitely extra-special. I hear you on the 7 weeks pp hormones!</p> <p>@lawbee11: I don't think I've ever read that one!</p> <p>@travelingnanny: I wish, sometimes I feel like I cry at everything.</p> <p>@travelgirl1: I can't sing Baby Mine (Dumbo) without becoming a sobbing mess. I also have that problem with Counting Crows' Round Here, but that's another story ;)</p> <p>@looch: So there's hope? I can't imagine how embarrassing this will be when she's old enough to know I'm crying!</p> <p>@Happygal: books that have a special meaning to you, or just anything? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1112281 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 08:33:35 +0000 Happygal 1112281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No babies of my own yet, but I've felt myself tear up while reading to students before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1112277 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 08:32:06 +0000 looch 1112277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I used to, but my son is almost 3 now, so I've calmed down a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1112275 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 08:31:42 +0000 fancyfunction 1112275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@owlmom: Ah - we read her that on the day we came home from the hospital and I was a mess! I've yet to read it to her and she's 9 months old. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1112268 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 08:30:44 +0000 travelgirl1 1112268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to tear up while singing to her sometimes. I had to stop singing You Are My Sunshine because the line about taking my sunshine away got me every time, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1112171 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 08:11:21 +0000 travelingnanny 1112171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I never really cry though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1111870 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 02:39:15 +0000 lawbee11 1111870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the book. I always tear up when I read Runaway Bunny to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1111867 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 01:58:40 +0000 Sapphiresun 1111867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get that way especially if I read books that I loved as a kid. And my mom gave me my childhood books that she saved when N was born so that happens a fair bit.<br /> But, I'm also 7 weeks pp... so I tear up a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1111863 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 01:35:36 +0000 StrawberryBee 1111863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: yes, I definitely can't sing without crying! That was pre lo as well though.</p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: glad to hear the love of reading has remained strong :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1111862 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 01:32:39 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1111862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wrote yesterday in my blog post about how "on the night you were born" used to make me cry when Lala was very little. That faded away after a couple of months, but the joint love of books never faded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1111858 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 01:10:01 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1111858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tear up reading"Tu Eres Mi Te Quiero" (You are my I Love You)<br /> Lullabies make me cry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1111842 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 23:44:42 +0000 StrawberryBee 1111842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@owlmom: lol! I first tried to tell myself that it was the material (The Last Unicorn excerpts for instance, which was the only thing I had handy on my phone one night). But no, I will apparently cry at anything. Today we read Peter Rabbit What's that Noise, The Napping House, and Little Bear, and I went through quite a few tissues.</p> <p>And yes, I'm sure it would be a complete sobfest if I brought out On the Night You Were Born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1111836 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 23:31:22 +0000 owlmom 1111836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the book - I've banned On the Night You Were Born because I can't read more than a couple pages without crying. But I also started crying at a freakin' cheerios commercial today, so I've clearly got a problem ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-else-tear-up-while-reading-to-their-lo#post-1111831 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 23:21:23 +0000 StrawberryBee 1111831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel so weird. E is only 7 weeks old, but I adore reading and want to foster that love of words in her as well. So I've taken to reading books to her, and cannot seem to do so without tearing up every single time! Tears end up streaming down my face, my nose ends up running (attractive). I don't know if it's the voice I use or the emotion of the fact that I'm reading to my daughter.</p> <p>Just wondering if I'm alone in this. </p>
