Reading

Both boys love to read books. They often pick them off the shelf and bring them to us and will nudge you with it until you read it to them,

Their favourites at the moment are books that show pictures of objects and then just simple words naming the object or colour or counting. Below is Mummy (Sal) reading to the boys, first thing in the morning. This is usually a good way to calm an upset Benjamin. This particular day was during his recent illness and he’d woken with a high temp and feeling lousy. Books always help!tn_P1300815

The boys will often get their books and read them and look at the pictures themselves. They babble about the pictures and like turning pages. Below is Ethan and his doll/teddy friend sitting down to read a book.  tn_P1280787 tn_P1280788

At the moment they don’t really like books with too many words or an involved story. They don’t seem to have the patience. They will get up and walk away after 1-2 pages. I guess this will come with time??

How terrific they like books. Everett likes them only on his terms and it's not very frequent yet. :o( Oh well, soon i hope.
