Just having a counterpoint to our morning coming together really just feels like a natural rhythm. Obviously it won't happen every night always, but when it can happen, it is certainly special!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757769321436298177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363247083579931414.post-59222525209208987632013-02-21T23:37:16.232-05:002013-02-21T23:37:16.232-05:00I've noticed that it's really made bedtime...I've noticed that it's really made bedtime go more quickly and smoothly after all.

I love our little bedtime rhythm of reading before bed, on nights we miss it, usually when little man is really tired, I really feel like something is missing.Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363247083579931414.post-63452521245701890932013-02-21T15:05:28.809-05:002013-02-21T15:05:28.809-05:00Sounds lovely!

We've done all of those books at different times...I'm realizing it is time to revisit Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little since some of my kids weren't even around the last time we read those.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757769321436298177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363247083579931414.post-74533475433115819862013-02-21T14:51:08.773-05:002013-02-21T14:51:08.773-05:00We started doing this when my son was about 3 and ...We started doing this when my son was about 3 and my daughter 1. We always read together but this was when we started chapter books. We started out with the Magic Treehouse series and made it through the first 40 books. We haev since branched out more and have read Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, Little House In The Big Woods, Charlie And The Chocolate factory, the entire set of the Little House On The Prarie smaller chapter books, and many others. Next on the list is Charlotte's Web. Now at 6 and 4 we still do this about 3 nights of the week. the rest of the nights we do individual reading.

I'm sure it helped us to relax. My husband and I used to read to our daughter, but lately she prefer me to tell a little story (she participates in telling the story) while I'm knitting. Like you I'm 9 month pregnant, but I'm so tired I fall asleep right after my daughter ;-) (That said, she's NOT tired, so it's she who falls asleep late rather than me who goes to bed super early.)<br />I'll definetely come back to your blog!mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07175927674675156646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363247083579931414.post-27822463807282034842013-02-21T12:11:13.632-05:002013-02-21T12:11:13.632-05:00Yay!

I agree, as the older ones can read on their own, it's easy to let those moments slide...but the little ones still need them so much!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757769321436298177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363247083579931414.post-32582485048348808102013-02-21T11:48:57.213-05:002013-02-21T11:48:57.213-05:00Beautiful.

We work hard to remember how important that last book or two of the day is to our little one. The teenager has grown out of it, but we have other rituals with her. Blessings on your time together!
