I decided to go to our library's webpage and request several books from the Scholastic book flyer. A couple days later I popped into the library and picked them up at the counter...it took maybe 5 minutes total.
The littles wrapped up in their blankets and got comfy. They love when I read to them.
I chose Thanksgiving themed books this time. Wild Child's favorite was "Run Turkey Run." Cutie preferred "Twas the Day After Thanksgiving." We ALL agreed that "Over The River: A Turkey's Tale" was our least favorite. The pictures were a little creepy.Here are the books we read:
*Corduroy's Thanksgiving by Don Freeman {board book}
*Franklin's Thanksgiving by Paulette Bourgeois {Can't go wrong with Franklin}
*Twas the Day After Thanksgiving by Mavis Smith {A Lift the Flap book}
*Run, Turkey, Run by Diane Mayr
*Thank You Bear by Greg Foley {A very sweet story}
*Over the River: A Turkey's Tale by Derek Anderson {Creepy photos}
I highly suggest trying this with your little ones this busy holiday season. I am picking up 6 more books today.
Happy Reading!
How have you found that "moment" each day with your child(ren)?

The grandtwins are coming...the grandtwins are coming! I will go to the library NOW!! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love that time at night when I'm laying in bed with Connor and cuddling and talking. In fact, I think that's part of why Taylor doesn't want his own room. He likes sharing that time at night, too. I know one day they'll be too old, and I'll miss that.
ReplyDeleteReading time with my 4 year old is my favorite time of day with him. It's our special time right before he goes to sleep. My struggle is finding time with my 9 year old. He doesn't really want me to read to him. I'm going to get some Thanksgiving books from the library too...great idea.

I remember the library days when I was kid. I couldn't check out enough books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for following and commenting. I'm glad I can be your vampire/celeb friend. :)
ReplyDelete*gold star for you*
great book choices :D
ReplyDeletei don't always find time every day but i try to :D
what a great way to spend a few mommy moments each day! I bet they love it too!
ReplyDeletethanks for your hugs and encouragement! Love, Dana
We usually take a "few moments" throughout the day. For one thing, I drive my daughter to school every day - and we talk - and I pick her up in the afternoon - and we REALLY talk. We also have some quiet time at night when she goes to bed where I go in her room and we talk a little bit, then we say prayers and I tuck her in. The last thing we say as I'm closing her door to one another is "I love you"... it's the best way to end the day.
ReplyDeleteI live for my 'moments' on the weekends with Sissy
ReplyDeleteThis was always my favorite time with my kids...snuggling and a story after their evening baths..miss it! I love to read to my grands so much! :D
ReplyDeleteThose look like some fun books to read. Wish I still had some littles to read to.
ReplyDeleteI miss those days!
Cute littles too by the way!
Reading before bed, snuggling and talking are always things I have done with my children.
ReplyDeleteWhen they get to be teenagers I like driving with them in the car. They are trapped with me (ha ha) and we get a chance to talk and listen to music - fun times.
Also, our family enjoys reading scriptures and having Family Prayer each evening :-D
I love reading to children, such a special time together. Such cute pictures of your little ones :)
ReplyDeleteReading is very important. I used to read to my kids a lot. And my Grandson loves to read (pretend) and be read to.. We did a alot of fun kid songs too. Music and singing was big with us. I play the piano and we'd sit around and sing silly songs. Especially Raffi
