Reading Routine

Charlie Chooses Books from kloveoirs on Vimeo.

For about a month or two, Charlie’s been picking out the books we read if we give him several options. This video is of the bedtime book choices.

Lately, whenever he’s given “Barnyard Dance” as a choice, he picks it. Sometimes that means we read it three or four times in a row. And we don’t just read it, we sing it— in a nasal, country, auctioneer sort-of way— so keeping up the enthusiasm can be a bit of a chore come the third read. Charlie sometimes hums along and bounces against our bodies while we read. We’ll have to get video of this next.
