I hardly ever go anywhere without the kids, but since one was napping and the other looked close to it I figured they could stay home with Shayne while I ran some errands. I decided the kids needed a treat. Ok, let's be honest, looking around the bookstore by myself is a pretty good treat! I picked out a handful and was about to leave when I noticed a table of Halloween books and couldn't resist getting more. I originally intended on buying each kid one book, but how could anyone resist such awesome books? I only spent $8 on all of these.
I love that my children saw the books as a treat. It makes me feel like I'm doing something right!
My kids are definitely readers. Last night I got Jacks to go to bed without a fight by telling him we could go to the library today. We go to the library at least twice a week and get a bag full of books plus a themed book kit. Even with all of that we exhaust at least half a shelf of books we own every day! The only negative I can find with my children loving books so much are the amount of tears Jacks sheds when we have to return one of his favorites!
You are doing it all right mama. I aspire to be as read-y with my girls as you are.
