After six years of stories at bedtime and a year of learning the alphabet and all the letter sounds it finally arrived - the day we have been waiting for - Riley's first home reader.
He jumped in the car full of excitement and rearing to go. In fact he was so enthusiastic that he happily sat and read to Emmy on the way home.
I gobble up books.
I gobble up dragons.
I gobble up spaceships.
I gobble up dinosaurs.
I gobble up ghosts.
I gobble up words.
Are you a bookworm?
You bet!
Riley was awesome ... he read to Emmy ... he read to Mummy ... he read to Daddy .... he even read to Granny down the phone and showing her the pictures - he is obviously already living in the land of video enabled phones!!
After all these years of Daddy's bedtime stories the whole idea of reading seemed so very natural. Phil even got a little emotional about it. I'm so proud of both my boys and look forward to so many more stories.
We can wait to see what comes home tomorrow!
