Best. Summer. Ever.

I will look back fondly at the Summer of 2018.  It has been such a fun summer, and not because we have taken a ton of trips or been busy every day.  In fact, the thing that has made this summer so wonderful is that I have intentionally under-scheduled our days and weeks.  We have had time to play, read, and laugh together.  I have had so many moments these past few months where I was able to just soak in the magic of summer with an almost three year-old and an almost one year-old.

What We're Reading | Vol. 2

I have noticed that we tend to read the same books over and over again at our house.  Please tell me this happens at your house too!  There were quite a few books on this list that were the same as the last list.  In fact, we read Llama Llama Red Pajama three nights in a row before bedtime!  I found a great list of 100 Picture Books from Everyday Reading and have been reserving some of the titles at the library.  It has been so much fun to discover new books with my boys!  I have also started to rotate the books we own into Henry's bedroom and the playroom.  He has been picking these books off of the shelf and he as excited as a kid on Christmas morning when he finds a book that he didn't know (or remember) that we have. 

What We're Reading | Vol. 1

Reading books is an activity that both of my boys love to do. We read stacks of picture books throughout the day and part of our simple bedtime routine is reading three books aloud before lights out. I’m always on the lookout for new books to add to our rotation and thought it would be fun to create a collection here of the books we’ve read each week in case you are looking for new books too!
