Looking forward I know that in the coming year I would love to work on reading aloud to my kids. I have been thinking about the reason this has become a bit more difficult in the past couple years. I think with my kids being further apart in age making it hard to read the same books and having different activities to attend most nights of the week so we aren’t all together are the biggest obstacles to overcome. I know I still love to read to them and all my kids still really enjoy it, so I want to work on it and read more books to my kids in the coming years. Love connecting with them through books.
