My daughter will only listen to audiobooks, and she is back on The Boxcar Children, which drive me freaking insane. She listened to all the Nancy Drew Adventures and all the Hardy Boy Adventures and that was such a nice break from Boxcar (as she calls it) but now we are back. I really hope she starts actually reading books soon, because then she will have so many more options.<br /><br />I'm glad B reading gave you your evenings back. For us it's the little one who keeps interrupting us, so that is not an option. The Storyteller series helps (Disney movies made into book form, but with tons of dialogue from the actual movie dispersed throughout -- available on Spotify), but he is still up for HOURS after bedtime, asking for us to come in a million times. He isn't waking up in the night anymore, so I'm trying to count myself lucky, but damn I'd love to have my evenings back. I think that won't happen until he's not napping anymore, which seems a ways away.Noemihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792217151905218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219236556397495909.post-22823428137586979122017-11-09T13:56:21.790-05:002017-11-09T13:56:21.790-05:00DC2 was doing the same thing with bedtime and I di...DC2 was doing the same thing with bedtime and I did something really similar-- I gave hir a flashlight. I also suggested practicing skip counting in lieu of counting sheep because it's a good thing to do even if she claims it doesn't make her sleepy (it does). nicoleandmaggiehttp://nicoleandmaggie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
