Bedtime stories

This week my focus was on putting my baby to bed by reading him stories every nigt before he went to  bed. 
I read "I love you forever"  which was a story of a mother taking care of her son and making it a radition to read him a bedtime story each nigt.  At the end of the story the grows old and sick so the son holds her in the same rocking chair she held him in and reads her a bedtime story.  He also passed the tradition down to his own child.
I read "Guess How much I love you".  This is a story of a little bunny and his father.  The little bunny keeps trying to find things that he feels are huge and compare it to  how much he loves his daddy.  He keeps picking larger and larger items until at the very end the daddy tops it off by saying he loves him just as much times two! Very cute story for children that are beginning to make size comparisons.
I read Dr. Suess "Fox in Socks".  This story is hilarious.  My children and I never get tired of reading this story.  It is a series of tongue twisters throughout the book that begin with a different letter or blend each page.  Dr. Suess' use of made up and real words to work the eyes and mouth is a great reading exercise. We giggle the whole way through this story, and we try reading it as fast as we can so we can keep messing up!
I read Dr.Seuss's classic "Green Eggs and Ham".  This is the story of a man  trying to get another man to try green eggs and ham.  All throughout the story the man is reluctant to taste even one bite of the dish, but Sam I am will not give up trying to persuade him that if he would try it he may like it.  Finally the guy tries it just to get Sam I am out of his face, and he ends up liking it alot.  This is a great book to share with a child that is a picky eater.  It could help persuade them to at least try food before declaring that it is nasty or that they don't like it.
I read Dr. Seuss's "Marvin K. Mooney would You Please go now".  This is a story of a very stubborn little guy that refuses to be moved from his spot no matter what is happening around him.  It is a serious of adventures going on all around his head, yet he stands there unmoved without even chanign his facial expression.  I like this story because Marvin stood his ground, and he never moved from the spot until he was ready to do so on his own.  This teaches children to stand up for what they believe in, and don't change their minds unless they want to.
I read over 90 minutes this week due to the length of the Dr. seuss books; they can get rather lengthy, especially green eggs and ham. My exact time was 101 minutes of reading.
