Story-Time
One of my favorite things over the Christmas break was having our extended family participate in the bedtime routine. I particularly enjoyed our story-time sessions where we read stories like Lucky Socks, Here Are My Hands, Trains, Violet the Pilot, Put me in the Zoo, and Two Little Trains. The last one was particularly fun because the book repeats this phrase "to the west" and each time it said it, everyone pointed to the West. Isaac really enjoyed this pattern and laughed and smiled after each time he pointed.
