Last night I get DS ready for bed gave him bottle changed he is READY TO GO!! Well I have DH carry him upstairs cause I'm taking clean laundry upstairs & he lays him in his crib while I put the clothes away. Well he just was not having it what so ever pitched a fit!!! So I grab him out again calm him down grab him two books read to him & 10 or 15 minutes later I lay him down (awake) & not a peep heard a little talking but lasted a few minutes & he was out calm & happy!!
So happy that my reading is having a very positive affect on him..its like he knows book=bed & if you try skipping the book its like he knows "HEY! I'm being jipped here!!"

Re: Reading is offically Mandatory with DS!
My dd7 loves to read LO her bedtime book. It's such a sweet bonding experience for the two of them it gets me every time!!! She checks out baby books from the library for her.
how adorable!
DH reads the bedtime story to DD, I sit with them - Click, clack, moo cracks me up!
That is adorable! I have been hesitant to do books at bedtime bc it seems to rile her up during the day. Maybe I'll have to try it.
Awwww...I'm sure she just LOVES picking books for her!!
Last night I read My Mama Monster Loves Me & How I Became A Pirate...I love reading him Dr Seuss (DH enjoys reading to him too, but when he reads I ususally try to pick the Dr Suess tongue twisters for him, he's a perfectionest & has to read it exactly how its written so its funny to watch him get all tongue tied!!!) We've been reading James & The Giant Peach but I've kinda taken a break from it..I also the Three Little Pigs (He likes it when I over dramatize the Huff & Puff part!) & also Where The Wild Things are...
I have to admit DS has a VERY impressive book collection I'm absolutely love buying him books every time I go to a thrift store or goodwill I'm always searching for books...I need to at to least slow down cause he's running out of book shelf room
Oh My!!! I LOVE that book!!! DS has got that book too! Its also one of my favorites!!!
I probably started since about 5 or 6 weeks... now I don't rock him to sleep 95% of the time he's awake when he's put in his crib... its so such a wonderful way to spend time together your not distracted by the phone or tv...NOTHING!! He's got my full 100% complete attention!!!
That's awesome! It's a great habit to get into.
