Our Littlest Storyteller

Our children listen to music when they go to sleep. Well, it started as music. Noah listened to the same lullaby CD every night for about 4 years. It wasn't until Benjamin asked for something different that Noah realized that was even possible. It has since become a little different. Everyone picks there own thing and it is often something different every night. But not always. But there is always something playing. In fact, they have worn out three CD players in the last year (and scratched more CDs than we care to remember). While music is still chosen on occasion, my kids do love their books on CD. Noah goes to sleep in our room listening to the Royals' games. Benjamin picks his "Jesus stories" more often than not. Abby got a new book for her birthday. Want to know what happens when she listens to it for weeks straight? Well, she recites it. Word for word. She and Benjamin love to sit in the bathtub and tell the story to each other. I never managed to get that on tape, but I did catch her at the breakfast table this morning. See how much you can understand...
