I’m feeding them..
Books!
Yes, I’m feeding my boys books. I still read to them every night before bed time. In fact, now a day that is the only way in getting them ready for bed, even though they might still be awake after the reading time or after half an hour! That is little Mer. He whine, sang, talked and cuddle me even though big brother Cal already in dreamland and I was half asleep!
Anyway, it was a good exercise, I mean the reading part. I got them some books from the Church library and some from the library. While they were still playing their toys and it is getting late, I would say “Would you like to read some book!?” Then they would stop and start brushing their teeth, wash their feet, pee and change for bed. In less than half an hour, they are ready and waiting, sometimes they will still be playing in their bed but once I started reading the first page of the book, they would straight away sat beside me and listen quietly, well, not quite, they would ask a few questions normally while I read. And they won’t stop if I haven’t answer them!
I hope I’m cultivating this love for reading onto these two boys and they’ll still love to read when they are grown up.
Tonight’s book is: My mum goes to work by Kes Gray and David Milgrim.
