Book Time

Book time is the newest thing in our house. A few months ago, we started letting Sami stay up later as long as she sat on the couch and looked at books.  No toys, just books.  She loves it, and has learned that the quieter she is, the longer she gets to stay up.  Sometimes she becomes one with the couch.  And it often works, and she gets to stay up until 7 pm. 

A few weeks ago, we started letting Janie stay up for book time too, although she doesn't get to stay up as long.  But she also loves it. They giggle just as much as they read.  Janie tickles Sami's toes and then they both start laughing.  It's cute.  And I hope they are learning to love books.

I love "quiet time" and when they can entertain themselves for a while . . . quietly :) What a fun and great idea for the end of the day!
