DS has started to be more interested when we read lately. What books do you and your LO enjoy most? We are enjoying the Usborne Touchy Feely books like That's not My Monkey...

Re: Books
We read to both girls every night at bedtime. Our favorites are:
A Long Way Home
Tickle Monster (we have the tickle monster gloves too)
Guess How Much I Love You
The Going to Bed Book
The Pokey Little Puppy
Anything Dr. Seuss
I Love You Stinky Face
A Home For Polar Bear
A Cuddle For Little Duck
my read shelf:
I second the anything Dr. Seuss...
and if anyone is looking for them, Toys R Us is having a buy one get one 50% off sale on all Dr. Seuss books
You read to both girls at the same time? How did DD1 handle that when you first started? My DD is great with DS, but I'm afraid to start anything that's going to up the jealousy. I don't want her to feel like DS is invading her special time
DH holds DD#2 in the rocker while I sit next to DD#1's toddler bed. DD#1 won't sit on my lap or near me if I'm holding DD#2.
my read shelf:
I'm glad you asked this question! I was thinking of asking it too.
We read a lot of Sandra Boynton books with the favorites being "Barnyard Dance" and "Belly Button Book." Also, every night as part of the bedtime routine, we read "Goodnight Moon."
This might be a silly question, but what part of the bedtime routine do you do book reading? I have just been doing it randomly during the day but I would love to start including it in our night time routine
Right now we do bath, then bottle and he falls asleep eating. He is our only LO so no other kids to worry about.
There's a cute book, I think it's called You Are All My Favorites and it's about 3 baby bears wondering how their parents love them all equally. It's really sweet. I like to read that to DS & DD at the same time. DD obviously can't understand it yet, but I'm hoping the message gets through to DS.
DS got Pat the Bunny for his first Easter and he tore all the pages out of it so I got a new copy to give DD for her first Easter.
Goodnight Moon was a staple with DS. Now he loves all the "Alexander" books. One I would really recommend for older kids (like age 3+) is Pete & Pickles...it's really sweet and DS laughs so much when I read it to him.
BFP #2 March 2011, Baby Girl born November 2011!!!
Baby Boy #2 is on the way!
I read to DD while I give her her bottle.
DD is usually nursing while we read DS his book immediately before bed, but she seems to like to listen to them and will smile and coo when we start to sing the songs.
We have a lot of song books and nursery rhyme books. We also have a lot of farm animal/tools books since my family is mostly farmers. DS loves C.o.c.k-A-Doodle Quack Quack and we read that one a lot. Another favorite is Snuggle Puppy. He likes it that we sing it differently almost every time. We also have some Dr Suess, Horton Hears a Who is his favorite.
We also have Pinocchio, Dumbo, Curious George and some Peanuts books. DS loves to read if you can't tell. He's starting to try to read to himself too. Especially with the books he really likes. He just says nonesense words, but it's super cute.
