I am a stay at home mom of a 2 year old. We read books together. He is learning his letters and points to the pictures. When he goes to bed I stay up another 4 hours to read books for my book review job.

I used to feel pretty bad that I never made time for reading when my kids were tiny. In retrospect, it’s totally fine. I doubt you need the reinforcement, I only wish I realized how reasonable it is not to have time for things (even things you care about) when parenting is turned to 11.
