Am I ever going to be able to read this book without crying??

[Chamomile Girl]

On the Night You Were Born makes me tear up every time! Sniff .

"And the night wind whispered "Life will never be the same...".

Ahhhh....I love my kid soooo much.

Anyone else have something like this or am I just a giant creampuff?

[michellebelle]

Ahhh, no. It's been 2.5 years with DS and I still get teary reading this book to him. In fact, I get teary thinking about it...

[Annie Mac]

I don't know the book you mention, but The Lorax always did it for me. "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." That line always made me sniffle and gulp back a sob.

I know for some people it's Robert Munsch's I Love You Forever.

[Knitting Mama]

Yeah, "Love You Forever" makes me cry Every. Single. Time. And I made up a tune to go with the song. :

[ErinYay]

I am such a PANSY. We have a huuuuuge library of baby and kid books, and there are but a handful I can get through without choking up. Then again, I've been known to lose it during fabric softener commercials...

[october]

I have that same book!
EVERY. TIME. I. CRY.
everytime.

[Deir]

No. It will always make you cry. "Owl Moon" makes me cry (along with 50 other books)

[1blueheron]

the first time it made me cry, i thought it was because i had crazy pregnant lady hormones - but no, it's somehow designed to turn the faucet on every time i read it

ack, crying a little right now just thinking about it!

[MJB]

The Lorax still makes me cry, too.

I have a book called Someday that makes me tear up just thinking about it. I don't think it will ever stop. I don't think I will actually be able to read the book aloud to my children, the will think me crazy for crying.

[lucy_v]

The book "Mama's Right Here" does it to me.... "Mama's right here and she always will be, my love is wherever you are."

[cristeen]

I cry every timew that book too. I just thought it was me. I seem to cry so much easier now. We were watching futurama tonight and i started crying.

[P.J.]

Don't know that book but it sounds beautiful, I'll have to check it out.
For me it's The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein *sniff sniff*

YES. Sob!

[ann_of_loxley]

A lot of childrens books make me cry in all honesty. I am a super softie! When I was pregnant with DS2 - reading all those books about pregancy and childbirth always made me well up whilst trying to read them to him! lol... My trick is to read them loads by myself - get it all out of my system and then work on reading them aloud to my boys whilst actively thinking about something else just so I can get through the books! lol

I can't make it through the velvetine rabbit at all!

[Ruby2]

First time I read it to dd I SOBBED and dh came running into the room to see what was wrong!

After the crazy crying hormones left my system (thank God, like that's really what new moms need!?!), I still get choked up reading it!

I tear up reading On the Night You Were Born (oddly, despite not being religious, when I read the bible passage at the end. Anyway, though, I SOB when I read this book. Seriously very tough to get through.

[Aufilia]

We have a book called "I Loved You Before You Were Born" that I've never, ever even been able to start reading to DD because I cry on the first page. My parents gave it to her before she was born.

And I can never get through "Mama Always Comes Home", which is about mama going to work but always coming back at the end of the day. I don't even work out of the house anymore and I still can't do it.
