Emme loves to tell me each night as I prepare her and her sister for bed "Mommy you have to read us a story because we can't sleep with out a story." This always makes me laugh. It is a rare event when the girls go to bed with out a story. Several months ago we decided to start introducing chapter books to our nightly routine. I always remember my mother reading me and Sarah to sleep till we got old enough to read to our selves. We started with Stuart Little. Honestly that book was a bit weird. I must say it is one of the rare books that I have ever read that the movie is better. The woman gives birth to a mouse who is a snobby and egotistical. The next book the girls enjoyed must better Charlotte's Web. On the nights that Matt is home he loves to put the girls to bed. So he reads his choice to them and I read mine. So far Matt has discovered one of my favorite childhood authors, Roald Daul. Livi usually falls asleep within a couple chapters and occasionally Emme will too. As I finished reading the fourth chapter of the night, Livi was sound of asleep, and Emme looked at me and said "More Mommy" So sweet.
So far we have read
1.Stuart Little
2. Charlotte's Web
3. Pippi Longstocking
4. The Borrowers
5. Matilda
6. B.F.G.
7. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
8. Winnie The Pooh
Matt is currently reading James and the Giant Peach. I am reading Little House in the Big Woods.
