Bed Time Ritual

First of all this is what I discovered when I got up this morning ... Samuel fast asleep, one arm out of his wrap and all the covers kicked off :-)
We generally always read the kids a story before lights out at bedtime. They each choose a story (sometimes 2 each depending on my mood and what the time is hehee). Tonight I got Lyndon to take some photos of what it's like when he's not around ... I knew I couldn't do it right with the camera timer and get myself, baby and 2 others sorted before the camera did it's click! haha
.
Aaron is always first with his story so I start reading that while Maddison mucks about choosing her story.

She's finally ready about half way through the story (see the pile of little books she's clutching!).
There's 6 in the set that she choose, and because they are about 5 pages each and have at the most 10 words on a page I read them all :-)
Lyndon also took some pics of the kids while I was reading.

hehehee Samuel sits nodding away on my knee :-)
Then when the stories are finished, it's lights out and I go and give Samuel another feed and tuck him into bed :-)
.
Nite all! Thanks for visiting.

This is so nice! And look at Samuel's concentration. haha. He's going to love books when he grows up, that's for sure!
