Reading at bedtime has always been a huge part of our nighttime routine, and miles is starting to enjoy it, too. Tonight, Mac is "special guest reader," which means she is taking over the reading responsibilities for the whole family, rather than doing silent reading while I read to oli. Mac, of course, has a flair for the dramatic, so it is pretty entertaining when she takes over. Of course, I like it when she does silent reading, too, because it is do gratifying to see her dig into a book for her own pleasure.
Lately, I've been tired and somewhat rushed during bedtime. But since it is Sunday, I had a lot of help today. So I still have a prett good energy reserve. Plus, I just had dinner, ice cream, and four (yes four) banana, oatmeal, chip cookies, so maybe it is just the sugar keeping me going. Either way, it is nice to have a relaxed bedtime with the kids.
