For a while it was all Pete the Cat, then all Brown Bear, Brown Bear. Right now he'll read/listen to a variety but he MUST hear Razzamadaddy before he falls asleep. I have it memorized now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1721035 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 12:32:56 +0000 Bao 1721035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Surprisingly, no! Is that yet to come? Can't wait ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1720914 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:50:28 +0000 Canoli 1720914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he now "reads" them to my husband every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1720056 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 00:26:28 +0000 googly-eyes 1720056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and it's more like the same 3 (which change) not 25! I'd be happy to repeat 25! Lol. Then again I doubt we even have much more than 25 in our place alone. She has some at both grandparents' house too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1720039 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 23:43:11 +0000 Kimberlybee 1720039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD only has 3-4 books she'll let me read in peace but I keep buying more to save for later. I LOVE books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1720001 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 22:59:59 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1720001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure! Thankfully he has a handful of favorites do it doesn't feel too repetitive. I'll usually ask him to pick out a new book after we've read the same one a few times </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719970 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 22:33:08 +0000 katsupgirl 1719970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! The good news is that it changes week to week. One time she was only interested in two pages out of Ferdinand the Bull. She wanted to read those over and over. What a baby! This reminds me that we need more books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719890 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:41:37 +0000 Jess1483 1719890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Thanks for the suggestion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719885 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:39:57 +0000 cascademom 1719885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: my brother left a book here called "B is for Bulldozer." It's a great book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719883 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:38:51 +0000 cascademom 1719883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was obsessed with the Moby Dick book and a sharing book for a long while. Now, he's crazy for the potty books I got him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719879 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:36:44 +0000 hellobeeboston 1719879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: haha, just saw your comment. Agreed!! It's weird that my son can point out a 'cable repair truck' and 'mini excavator' and doesn't know his colors. Ha! I find those books great for diaper or outfit changes and I have him flip through to find specific trucks </p> <p>@beaker: thanks! Fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719871 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:32:09 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1719871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: OMG yes. I had to hide this one, I was tired of "Look, a tiger! Look, a giraffe! Look, a lion!"</p> <p>@hellobeeboston: if your LO is into animals, the About series is pretty good! I actually know a lot about marsupials now haha. We also have the birds and insects ones but those have fallen out of favor... </p> [attach=1630/14/n7pdpl.254x346.download--1-.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719867 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:29:38 +0000 hellobeeboston 1719867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beaker: that looks like a cute book!</p> <p>Yes! Same books all the time. We can successfully add in a new one here and there but it's hard to get into his favorites rotation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719862 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:27:52 +0000 Jess1483 1719862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to go to the library today to get new books about trucks because I just can't read the two we have any more. I will actually explode.</p> <p>I think the worst are the books that are just object-naming. I can read "Where the Wild Things Are" hundreds of times, but just naming the trucks on the page is going to be the end of me. I've started hiding books, but I don't know how much longer that will work (at 19 months, it's out-of-sight, out-of-mind). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719856 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:23:45 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1719856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish our repeating stash was 25! We've been on this one foreverrrrr </p> [attach=1630/14/n7pdbl.260x260.download.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719740 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 20:47:03 +0000 mrskc 1719740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but it will change from week to week. If I get really tired of a book, I hide it for awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719734 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 20:45:29 +0000 matador84 1719734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we went through a cloudy with a chance of meatballs phase and the book disappeared. Right now, he's into different books every night, which I'm loving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719601 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:48:20 +0000 artsyfartsy 1719601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a "book instead of a card" at our shower. We got lots of books, but most of them were bibles or bible stories. Oi. We're not religious but all of our family and friends are (Bible belt). Of course we appreciate them and I'll keep them forever (they have lovely sentiments written inside!) but just not my choice for a bedtime story. Lol</p> <p>We only have 3 non religious books so I read them to him over and over. I haven't made a point to buy anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719591 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:46:44 +0000 Silva 1719591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Right now she is obsessed with Quick as a Cricket. I think I read it to her three times today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719585 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:44:50 +0000 hilsy85 1719585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, he cycles through books...some are faves for a week, some for several weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719581 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:43:30 +0000 BeachMama 1719581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, she usually has about 5 or so that are her current favorites for a few weeks or a month. I know The Night You Were Born and How Do I Love You by heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719568 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:41:45 +0000 autumnlove 1719568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I make them disappear every few weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719556 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:37:46 +0000 Raindrop 1719556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO actually has one favorite book that we read to him pretty much all the time. He doesn't really like any other book - we have a ton of books for him too... maybe over a 100 and he still just wants that one book. </p> <p>We actually bought a back up of that book just to have one upstairs and downstairs. I might buy another one to carry in the car too. :)</p> <p>He likes it so much that he also likes to pretend to read it. So cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-read-the-same-books-over-and-over-and-over-again#post-1719536 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 19:31:31 +0000 pinkcupcake 1719536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone else's LO only want to read the same books over and over again? </p> <p>My LO only wants to read the same 25 books over and over again. We have a ton of books, but she refuses to try anything new - always the same one. We've both memorized everything by now :P </p>
