As part of his transition into his big boy bed, we started reading to him in his bed. We also started putting his big green dinosaur to go "nite nite." Sometimes Dadda reads from the rocking chair and he and I work on laying down and shhhhhh! Listen to Dadda's story. And sometimes he wants to repeatedly put Dino to go "nite nite." He covers him with his sheet and pats him and says nite nite! and will put his fingers to his lips and say..."shhhhh." I have loved this special time with him so very much!!
The other night he pulled me onto his bed with him and I had already picked out a few stories. As I read them, he flipped the pages. When it was over, we read the stories again. This is something else he has began to ask for. When we finish a book, he will hand it back and forth between me and Jer and want us to read it again. Sometimes we will read the same story 3 and 4 times before turning out the light. Some of our favorites are:
I love you Through and Through
Old McDonald Has a Farm
Giraffe and a Half
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
I hope this time with him continues for a very long time! And I hope his love of books and stories continues too!! Jer snuck in and snapped a few pictures of me and him together the other night. I love the moment it captured. Thanks babe for thinking to capture this time with photos!
