I have always loved reading bedtime stories to Hailey and Nathan. Within the last month when 7:00 PM rolls around and I tell the kids to go get their books - H. has been saying she didn't want bedtime stories - she'll just read to herself. I don't know when I thought she would stop wanting me to read her stories but I was unprepared for it! Not ready to let the routine go just yet, I have ask her to sit in the living room with us and read. But I have found that if I read N.'s book in some goofy way (whale talk, backwards, spelling every word out, rap or opera to name a few) she'll start laughing and come join us. I know that will probably only work for a little while, but hopefully long enough for me to adjust.

You got a bonus couple of months! Nolan hasn't let us since the beginning of this school year.
Gavin isn't even close, but it makes me sad just thinking about it! I guess that's just part of growing up. But for sure I would want to listen to you read "Guess How Much I Love You" in whale talk!
