Bedtime story with Dad!
So yesterday, It was my husband turn to read the kids a bedtime story! ( The first time ever … It’s not really his thing.)
So let’s start this story off; The boys choose a book, Blaze and the monster machines.
We go into their bedroom, put them into their beds and like a hot summer day… all of sudden they’ve become parched. They need a drink & they need it now… After all they need to quench their thirst!
(Stalling.. toddler style status… at is finest!)
So they pounded their drink as if they’ve never had anything to drink before. Now It was time for a story!
My husband lays down on the floor, opens the book and reads the first line.
My youngest starts crying! My husband looks over towards him and says “If you want Dad to read the book, you got to stop crying! Otherwise no book!”
Again he repeats this first line… Then this is what came next… He proceeded to skim through the next page like it was a 40 page extend warranty agreement that nobody wants to read through! He maybe picked out one line and read it. Flips a few pages, yep not just one page, but almost half the book and says maybe one or two more words & goes ” look at blaze” as he point to a picture
I’m literally laughing so hard watching this! All I could think of was; This wasn’t even the cliff notes version!
It was in this moment I had realized, I didn’t even know it was possible to skim a child first level reading book.
