I try to read a couple books with Sarah most nights before she drifts off, which lately is about three hours after I’ve put her to bed. She likes to burn the midnight oil.
Our reading time usually goes something like this:
Me: Said the mother hor…

OOOOH! CAMEL!
Yep, camel.
*Pause this time and wait for it.*
*Silence.*
What does a camel do?
*More silence.*
LOOK, MOMMY! I COLOR!
That’s right. You colored the page.
*Chuckle, give up and turn the page.*

*Sigh, give up and skip to the last page.*
Now sleep…

RREEEDDDD!
Can love. The end.
*And close the book.*
This is when Sarah sticks her thumb in her mouth and sinks down next to me….ready to read a book.
Can you guess that book?
This is so cute! I love reading with my daughter. She likes to read the books to me. Thank you for your comment. It was really hard to see my daughter so sick. I am so happy that she is sleeping well now. Have a great night!
