I hope it’s okay if I attempt starting this thread!
I noticed last week it was recently decided that this thread would be more of a GTKY + randoms, so here’s what I’ve got for this week.
1. What was your favorite book to read as a child?
2. What is your LO’s favorite book to read with you? Is it also your favorite book to read with them?
3. Tell a funny story about your LO(s) from the last couple of weeks!

1. What was your favorite book to read as a child?
Dr. Seuss, especially Go Dog Go
2. What is your LO’s favorite book to read with you? Is it also your favorite book to read with them?
LO goes in phases of favorite book. Lately it's this where's waldo type monster book. I like reading Llama, llama red pajama and Good night moon. I find the later very soothing.
3. Tell a funny story about your LO(s) from the last couple of weeks!
The weather has been nice enough lately that I can kick LO out in the back yard to chalk on the deck. Well, she can't say "chalk" it comes out "cock" so she's always asking to go play with cock...
I was a voracious reader as a child.. I don't think I could pick a favorite.
2. What is your LO’s favorite book to read with you? Is it also your favorite book to read with them?
DS's favorite right now is Ten Friendly Fish. He's learning how to count, so he enjoys counting the fish. Like @meggyme, I enjoy reading Llama Llama, though I have to disagree with you on Goodnight Moon.. I think that book is so weird
3. Tell a funny story about your LO(s) from the last couple of weeks!
DS's favorite food is macaroni & cheese, and he has some pajamas with mac & cheese on them. When I was getting him out of his crib the other day (after taking his pjs off), he said "Byeee mac cheese pants!" and tried to take a bite out of them.
Here's a fun article that explains the issues with Goodnight Moon

2. DD’s current favorite is “P is for Potty” starring Elmo. She is not even close to potty training, but she wants to read it multiple times a day. It is not my favorite lol. I like reading her the Knight and the Dragon by Tomie dePaola. It’s so cute and mostly pictures so you are forced to be more engaged. I find myself passively reading a lot of the other books we read over and over.
3. DD likes to come sit on my back if I’m laying on my stomach on the floor. She’ll straddle me like a horsie. She’s too little to figure out how to hold on and balance if I got up on my hands and knees, so I just wiggle around on my belly and hum William Tell. She thinks it’s hilarious. It’s so absurd looking lol.

2. What is your LO’s favorite book to read with you? Is it also your favorite book to read with them? He had a favorite called "where's my nose" but has grown out of it now. Much like me he loves books in general. He is usually pulling my Dean Koontz books off the shelf and "reading" them.
3. Tell a funny story about your LO(s) from the last couple of weeks! lol yesterday he had DH and I in tears. He gets constipated on the weekends. I have no clue why. But yesterday he was also sick with croup. We went to urgent care and they gave him a steroid to help breathe. Said it would kick in on 4-5 hours. It sure did. He was my happy playful boy again. So he was finally up playing and laughing and suddenly stops, turns bright red and says "I'm poopin" so we wait and suddenly with a huge sigh of relief says "I'm poopin now".
1. What was your favorite book to read as a child? Loved the Bernstein Bears books when I was younger, Madeleine L'Engle and Harry Potter once I was older (read a little of everything now!).
2. What is your LO’s favorite book to read with you? Is it also your favorite book to read with them? Depends on the day for him, he goes through phases of being super into one book or another, right now it’s “Cars and Trucks and Things that Go.” I kind of hate that book at this point... My favorite to read to him is probably “On the Night You were Born.”
3. Tell a funny story about your LO(s) from the last couple of weeks! We were on the back porch and DS was eating an ice cream cone (a very rare thing for him) and after taking forever to eat it (his cousins have already eaten their, gotten cleaned up and headed to bed!) he randomly decided to bit off the bottom of the cone! Ice cream got everywhere and he was cracking up as he kept licking it off the cone and his hands.
2. What is your LO’s favorite book to read with you? Is it also your favorite book to read with them? She seriously changes her mood every night but we love Don't let the pigeon drive the bus and all others from that series. She recently started on these Giant Disney books my SIL gave us. They are giant and quite awkward to read because of how large the book is so definitely not my favourite.
3. Tell a funny story about your LO(s) from the last couple of weeks! She recently started putting on "dance shows" as she calls them for us. Basically it's her singing and dancing to songs she is making up to the tune of itsy bitsy spider and twinkle twinkle little star, while doing some random gymnastics moves she learnt during her gymnastics class. It's pretty darn cute. For reference she is a bit over 2 and a half.

2. What is your LO’s favorite book to read with you? Is it also your favorite book to read with them? He currently carries around a Trucks book with him everywhere. I do love that he loves this one because it's short and outlasts his attention span.
3. Tell a funny story about your LO(s) from the last couple of weeks! He is 16 months and has recently started trying to blow his nose. He bends over really far and makes the most exaggerated snort noises and it is too darn adorable.
