Reading from a Kindle is easier than holding a book and trying to pin the pages open with a leg. I've tried hand quilting, but that wasn't as successful. :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407636240006454920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9283473.post-40341082902524715612014-03-18T00:02:16.011-04:002014-03-18T00:02:16.011-04:00We usually read before bedtime, but that has the d...We usually read before bedtime, but that has the disadvantage of making bedtime rather late because it's just so hard to stop.<br /><br />Do you knit and read aloud concurrently? I'm mystified as to how that would be possible! I found knitting to be a great means of staying awake while my beginning reader read aloud to me.Heather VanTimmerenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05814478239699334086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9283473.post-42448259206957867312014-03-17T18:43:48.993-04:002014-03-17T18:43:48.993-04:00Kimberly,

I've not read Charlotte Avery of Isle Royale, but it sounds lovely from the Amazon description!<br /><br />Oh - I miss those days of squeezing many little one in close to see the pictures! Our favorite place to read is a large couch, which can hold a surprising number of children if they really want to see. Otherwise, I let them sprawl wherever, and just pause periodically to show illustrations.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407636240006454920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9283473.post-14138548114819258562014-03-16T13:44:19.668-04:002014-03-16T13:44:19.668-04:00My children are ages 7 weeks, 2, 4, & 6.

Two on either arm of the recliner with another standing on a chair behind me. Our favorite books lately are the Grandma's Attic books by Arlene Richardson. Our favorite library find last week was "Charlotte Avery of Isle Royale" by Rebecca Curtis.<br />Thanks for the encouragement :)<br />Kimberly LockeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303778447080683639noreply@blogger.com
