TwiceToddlers and Their Reading List

On my twins second day of Kindergarten, they brought home a red piece of paper with apples on them. Inside these apples were 6 lines each. These apples and the lines represent the number of books that will be read to them each month.

Starting this month, I have read 6, going on 7, books to them each day or night. Reading books to them is always part of their homework. I really love reading books to them. When my twins were younger than they are now, I used to read all the time to them.

When my twins got older, reading to them slowed down a bit. Now that they are in kindergarten together, their reading schedule has picked up again. My twins LOVE it. It is a shame me reading to them slowed down, but now, they each bring home a book from their classroom's library.

Some of the books they choose are long winded and others short and easy to read. When reading to my twins, they put their head on my shoulder and say, "I love you Mommy." In return, I say, "I love you too "E" or "A"".

Twins and Books

Since my twins were 10 months old, they have loved to be read to. Well actually, my husband and I have read to our twins since they were infants. In fact, I read to them when they were in my womb.

Maybe this is why they love to be read to everyday.

Twin B, she is so cute, she just sits on the floor, hard or carpeted, and opens a book, looks at the photos while pointing at the pictures.

Twin A, she does the same thing, except she points out loud to each item pictured.

Oh, and they love sitting somewhere on my lap. They usually fight for a place to sit on my legs. Or, one will sit in between my legs and the other on one of my legs.

When I read to them, they are so precious because they look at me and smile, especially Twin B. She just loves for me to read to her and she loves when I get animated in my voice and physical animations.
