Reading in Bed

Curling up with a book in bed is one of life's many pleasures...as an adult. This is not something we've ever encouraged with the girls, though. The idea in putting them to bed is for them to go to sleep, right? So, no books in bed. End of story.

But, like most seemingly clear-cut parenting techniques, this "rule" went out the window when we had twins. Quiet and in bed currently trumps immediate sleep in Tessa and Annie's bedroom, where they each have a menagerie of small objects that have taken up residence in their cribs, including tiny figurines and stuffed animals. And, they are permitted and even encouraged to "read" in bed. Of course, down the hall, in Megan and Bridget's room, books are still not allowed. Yep, we're inconsistent like that :)

Dora books are the current naptime and bedtime favorite, and this is how I found the twins about an hour into their nap today.







Whatever works!
