Bedtime Reading

19/365

 

Now that my boy is able to read he loves when he gets the opportunity to stay up and read after we do our night time routine.   Tonight was one of those nights and I told him he could stay up for 30 extra minutes and then go to bed.   It was sweet because when the time came he came into our room and said "Thanks for letting me stay up to read! I love you! Good night!"   There were hugs and then he went back to his room, grabbed a blanket of mine and cuddled up and went to sleep.   He forgot to turn off his light, but that just made for an opportunity for mom to take a picture of the sweet moment and him combing through the pages of How Things Work (He's bookmarked it in many places over the months he's had it in order to talk to his dad about things.)
