When Justin was the only child, we read a lot to him and he had very good concentration even if he was only about 9 months old. I was pregnant and I had some complication. With hubby traveling frequently, the only activity we could both enjoy together was reading. I could still remember how bored I was reading Peter and Jane book 1a to him so many times a day! LOL!

But after we had Isabelle, it’s not easy to read to them together and separately. Both of them have different choices of books and some times they don’t like to take turns. I would normally let them choice 2 different books each and they will rotate the books. If one of them picks a book with 3 stories, I will be reading until my mouth is numb at bedtime.

I’m always glad that hubby is around at home more often now and each of us can read to the kids separately. It speeds up the reading time and it’s not too tiring. I do wonder when can they read by themselves, but I guess it won’t be for the next 5 years! LOL!

Anyway, I think I can recite the whole story of Cinderella now as it’s Isabelle’s favorite. As for Justin, he has a more diversified interests in different topics involving animals. I’m glad that Peter and Jane is over now, at least until they start reading by themselves again. Most parents start with Peter and Jane huh?
