Night Time Routine

The guest room (aka Bethany and Jared's room) has a couch in it that we use ever night when reading to the girls before bed.  We used that couch in our playroom at our Charlton house.  We wanted to keep it and figured the teenagers would like to have it in their room for hanging out and it really is great for our reading time.  Jim and I take turns reading to them, but often they want Daddy to read since they don't see him during the day and probably because they get tired of listening to me, haha. After an especially exhausting day, I sometimes cuddle under the quilt on the guest bed.  Last night Sawyer decided she was too tired to listen to Sydney read her book, so she tucked herself in just like I do.

A few pictures of her all cozy on the guest bed.  Silly girl.

Sydney is having a wonderful time reading her early reader books.  I got a wonderful report from her teacher the other day when I dropped them off at school.  Also, any chance I get, I buy her new early readers.  I know some of it is memorization and some reading, but she is really amazing to watch.  Either she or I will point to each word and she is reading remarkably well.  I love it!  I also love that there are a ton of early readers out there that are more interesting than the basic phonic book.  She will be ready for full day public kindergarten in the fall!!!
