Once supper is out of the way the kids start to hover around me. Is it time to read yet?? It is a bit of a tradition around here for me to read to the kids before bed. My ideal is a picture book or two for the little ones and then a novel for the big kids some how I am currently reading;
The Horse and His Boy (again)
The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood
Alone in an Untamed Land (from the Dear Canada Series)
Plus, a book for Hannah and one for Joel. The other night I told the kids to go and get their books for read aloud time, and off they scurried.
My sweet Joel returned with a big grin on his face and gave me this book;
(A book which I borrowed from my brother.) Not quite a bedtime read for a 5 year old.
I looked at Joel and said, “Oh Honey,”I don’t think you’d really like this one.”
He looks at me with those big brown eyes and says, “But I wanted to hear, ‘Jack in the Beanstalk’!”
Thankfully, I have the story of Jack in another book.
Do you have a story time?
