I'm blogging about the "reading books" part of our routine. At some point, Colin has decided that we read from six of his bedtime books. And only these six. If any books are added to this bedtime-book-rotation, he won't let me read them. I know this because I went out and bought a few new ones, or tried to add ones that he already has (just because I thought maybe he would appreciate a little variety) and he literally pushes them away.
So, his cherished bedtime books sit in a pile by the rocking chair, just waiting to be read every night. I can recite them totally by heart. I can predict what parts make him smile, and what parts he will point to. Frankly I'm a tad sick of reading the same six books, but if this is the perfect ending to his little day, then it's mine too.

Flani...if I am correct, and one of those in your rotation is "The Going to Bed Book", remember that I sent it to you! So when you are reading it for the zillionth time, you can think of me :)
I can totally recite a few of those too....Good night moon is one of my favorites. We always add a few items to say good night too! Keep reading to him girl!!
The simple joys of life. May Colin always feel as loved and secure as he does now.
Nicole, do you remember hearing the stories about books & your bedtime routine? Sound familiar? Colin looks like you did in the picture on the couch at home surrounded by your favoiite books. He is so sweet & very serious. Love Mom
