Reading books as a family

The last two nights, we have spent at least 30 minutes to an hour reading together as a family, the four of us.

Sometimes JoElle reads to us- she is learning so many words that she can read quite a few words in books. The rest she makes up from the pictures and the stories are very entertaining and often almost dead on with the real words!

Last night, Alexa woke up right after going to sleep because she wasn't feeling well, so JoElle entertained her by jumping and dancing around, then Tim went and grabbed books to read because the previous night, Alexa fell asleep on me while Daddy read books to JoElle.

Alexa listened to Daddy reading for a long time!

Both girls really like this new book we found at the library the other day about the human body, it has great pictures and informations about DNA, structure of blood, organs, bones, the cerebrum, etc. Tim and I are learning a lot, too :)

We also have some great Christmas books and a book called "You Are Brave" that JoElle enjoys reading.
