We have been spending a lot of time at the library lately. I have found that if I let the the kids pick out their own books, they are more excited about reading at night. They will sit for a lot longer and pay attention better to books if they pick them out themselves.
The books that I would pick out are not exactly the same kinds of books that the boys choose. The last favorite book that Wyatt picked out was called "The Bridge is Up" about a drawbridge. "The bridge is up. The bus can't go, so everybody has to wait" Next page "The bridge is up the bus can't go, the truck can't go, so everybody has to wait" etc. etc. until there are about 12 vehicles to read. finally the bridge goes down and nobody has to wait. I literally had to read that last week 8 times in a row!!!
More recently Wyatt discovered Max and Ruby books at the library. He LOVES Max and Ruby. Jonah and Sam love Max and Ruby. John and I....not so much. Today Wyatt was "reading" to the boys. They were fighting over who got to sit right next to Wyatt to listen to Max and Ruby. It was really cute. Then tonight Wyatt told me that he wanted to read his favorite books himself without my help, so I let him and grabbed the video camera instead.....
