“I read to her about 2 to 3 books before bed when she comes for overnights with Nana. Which is about two nights a week. It's our thing we do together. We both love the cozy time before bed. Her mom does read to her a lot also. She is now pretending to read her book while I read a different book. Shes two and a half. She has always loved books. The OOOPS book is her favorite. She knows all the words and giggles when we get to the part off OOOPS.”
That sounds like the sweetest bedtime tradition! I love that she’s already "reading" alongside you—such a book lover in the making! And those giggles at "OOOPS" must be the best part. -Danielle 😊
