Bed time reading

To be honest, I hadn’t always read books while it is sleep time for kids. I would be so tired, get their dinner done, put them to bed. Until karthi was about 2, I would sing to them every night. But reading, not really so much. When I went for prep interview for karthi, there was a book which mentioned the positives of reading to kids. That night, I started reading a book. It was a baby book, but both Maya and karthi loved it so much. I try to do it as much as I can because I love the feeling of both of them across my chest and so deep in listening. Last week, I was just randomly asking the kids what they like to do with me, Karthi answered, I like to sleep with you, I miss you when I sleep in daddys bed, I also like reading with you. Maya said she loves playing with me and reading with me. I think it is more about the time I spend with them without ordering what to do. What I wish for now is to be able to make the story telling while having dinner and take them off the video watching mode. Hopefully I will get there.
