The One About Storytime . . .

When I was little my Mum used to read to us every night before we went to bed.  When we grew up Mum saved the books and put them away in the attic, where they've until about a month ago, when we got them all down.  In the last couple of weeks I've started reading stories to Alissia every day.  At the moment we're working through the Mr Men and Little Miss series.  They're just the right length of story at the moment, as she listens and doesn't get too bored.

Reading Mr Tickle!

Wonderful! I started reading to my kids when they were babies, and I'd still do it now if they'd let me. Great excuse for a cuddle too when you get her on your lap and show her the pictures

One of my favorite gifts to friends/family is books. I love Pajama Time - it makes me laugh every time I read it :) I included the link to Amazon so you can see it ;)

Oh Gem she is looking adorable! reading the Mr Men books brings back happy memories. No matter how busy or tired reading a bed time story is a lovely way to connect with your child and unwind xxxx
