All of my kids love to read or be read too! Sarah is no exception. We let the twins "read" books in their beds at night to wind down before going to sleep. Sarah at the mere mention of bed has been known to run for the bookshelf and grab as many books as she can/cannot carry. You might think this is just a random choice or "grab what you can" method but let me assure it is very calculated. She knows what books are still in her bed from the night before and she knows what she needs for tonight! If you dare try to convince her that maybe one or two books would be fine you are up for a two year olds version of arguing. I have even tried the method of get to her room first and remove some of the books that are already there. Let me assure you this does not get past any child of mine. If books are to be removed from the bed they have to be done by sneaking in after hours ( if you know what I mean) or just by trying once and for all to be the adult and putting my foot down. One afternoon during nap time she fell asleep with a book on her face. I thought it was cute so I took a picture to remember that a love of reading can start very early.
