Today my wife suggested something she never has before. We sat as a family and read. I was reading and she wanted to relax and read too, so she called the kids in and made them put their phones away and read for 45 minutes. It truly was a beautiful thing. There was very little complaining and when the time was up we all went about our days. I hope we do this more often.

How much do you read? What are you reading currently? How about your family?

That is awesome. I recently read 'My Side of the Mountain' to my son. We would read a chapter every night before bed. Took us about a month and he has already asked if we could start a new book.

Or soon is just starting to read and loving it. It is a magical time indeed.

Can't even begin to tell you how heart warming that is to hear someone talk like this.

I can't wait till my kids are old enough to appreciate reading books together. I spent my whole childhood reading and I have so much to share. They don't even know. Lol

My kids read together every single day, they alternate a bit on who reads to who, but my boy yesterday said he wants to get a mic and record himself reading a book so we can put it on a CD and listen to it in the car.

I said that'd be awesome, and pretty easy, and we could just put it on the phone....

"I'd like it on a CD, it's just more REAL", says my daughter..... She's got something there, lol.

Keep it up!
