This is one of our favorite ways to bond around the Brislin house. We cuddle up with a bunch of our favorites and read on. I try to have the big kids read for about 20-30 minutes a day. Ellie is still learning so she mostly looks through the pictures, but I find that it is a great way to calm her down and have that quiet time that she has missed out on since she stopped napping. Reading has a huge calming effect on Mason. Ever since he was a baby, a good story would ease any tension he was having. It has taken Addison a little bit longer to get into story time. She has always been such a busy body that it has been hard to get her to sit still. That seems to be changing though and her love for reading time has been growing. One of her favorites right now is the sign and speak Itsy Bitsy Spider. This has been in our Bris Book collection since Mason was a baby. It is a simple book with simple pictures, but every one of our kiddos have loved to have it read to them time and time again. If you have a toddler in your life pick it up today! They are sure to love it as much as the Bris Bunch does.
