Reading books aloud is one of my most favorite things to do with Sloane, and now Logan can get in on it too. Since Logan can recently sit up, I will have her on my lap while Sloane sits next to me and I will read a book aloud to both of them. These moments make me feel like I couldn't ask for anything else in the world, I'm so content. It's also pretty cool to be around when Ken is reading aloud to them - I hope we keep doing this always. Ken and I have both remarked how much our reading stamina has increased since we first started reading aloud to Sloane when she was a baby. It's a skill I'm happy to acquire.
A few of our favorite books these days:
Journey by Aaron Becker
The Biggest Story: How the Snake Crusher brings us back to the Garden by Don Clark
Madeline in London by Ludwig Bemelmans
Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne
Peter Rabbit and Other Cherished Stories by Beatrix Potter

A friend also recently recommend Poems to Learn by Heart - this is next on our list!
