Last night, for a change, instead of reading to the kids, the kids read to us. It was very very nice. The big kids took turns, and although we were up past bedtime, we all loved it.

Last night was a good night for reading to the kids. Brian had to work late, so after the little ones had a bath, they all piled into our bed and we read for a few mintues.
It was nice and very relaxing.. for everyone. They seemed to sleep better too.. or was that my imagination?
I’ve been making time to read to the kids almost daily. It helps that their Elm. school is running a incentive to encourage reading. The kids are challenged to read 400 minutes a month. They met their goal in October and are doing pretty well with November already.
I’m trying to encourage more independant reading as well. :)
