So this is something that I have been looking forward to for a long time - sharing chapter books with the kids. I love to read and spent many, many hours as a kid immersed in books. I have lots that I loved but one of my all-time favorites was Little House on the Prairie. And a couple of weeks ago I started reading Little House in the Big Woods with Julia at bedtime. I wasn't sure how it go as our usual bedtime reading consisted of a Cars storybook that she absolutely loved and of course, could identify with the movie and then a second more relaxing story. But to my absolute delight she is loving the "Laura stories" as she calls them.
I started by adding Little House to our normal routine - so reading three stories instead of two. But by the second or third night she asked me to continue reading a second chapter in Little House instead of Cars! yayyy!! And each day since she has wondered about what is going to happen next and is excited for our bedtime reading. So am I!
