Both kids will choose books that they want to read, and everyone sits down together to read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-story-time-with-your-los-at-the-same-time#post-2548360 Fri, 13 May 2016 07:51:26 +0000 Ree723 2548360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've just recently started reading them bedtime stories at the same time, all snuggling together in our big bed. I was trying to do it with the two girls and I sitting together on DD1's twin bed, but that got a bit ridiculous so now we've moved to our queen sized bed for story time. Each girl gets to bring two or three stories in for reading and we alternate reading them - a lot of times we don't make it through all the stories as DH usually comes home from work during this time and books get forgotten in favour of snuggle time/catching up with daddy! On nights when he's home early or they're going to bed late, he gets in on the story action as well and the girls just love it.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-story-time-with-your-los-at-the-same-time#post-2548288 Fri, 13 May 2016 06:32:06 +0000 FannyMae 2548288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 gets a story before bed, and sometimes hubby will hold DD2 at the same time (6 months old). They have seperate rooms so when she's older it will be 2 story times </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-story-time-with-your-los-at-the-same-time#post-2548175 Thu, 12 May 2016 21:08:59 +0000 yellowbird 2548175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Separate. Ds gets 1 book and then goes to bed. Dd has to have three books and a whole lot of stalling, she also goes to bed an hour after him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-story-time-with-your-los-at-the-same-time#post-2548174 Thu, 12 May 2016 21:07:01 +0000 californiadreams 2548174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have done it a few times but DS2 is only 3 months. I'd like to work on DS2 have an earlier bedtime than DS1 for now. But when he is a bit older I definitely plan to double up story time. Even if one goes to bed later, I'd like to read to them together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-story-time-with-your-los-at-the-same-time#post-2548133 Thu, 12 May 2016 20:11:27 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2548133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. DD2 is so so tired by 715 that it's one short book and she's in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-story-time-with-your-los-at-the-same-time#post-2548111 Thu, 12 May 2016 19:50:37 +0000 Boogs 2548111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they are on the same schedule now. LO1 loves story time, LO2 could care less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-story-time-with-your-los-at-the-same-time#post-2548087 Thu, 12 May 2016 19:14:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 2548087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically yes but the baby is not quite 5 months. So more like I lay her on big sisters bed while I read bedtime stories. She seems to like t though. Then once big sister is in bed I nurse the baby to sleep.</p> <p>Eta: I do bedtime solo most of the time. And even if Dh is there the toddler usually wants me involved with bedtime stories anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-story-time-with-your-los-at-the-same-time#post-2548079 Thu, 12 May 2016 19:07:20 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2548079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. DD2 goes to bed 45 minutes before DD1. DH reads to my big girl downstairs while I read to the little one in their room. Baby girl doesn't get books yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-story-time-with-your-los-at-the-same-time#post-2548057 Thu, 12 May 2016 18:50:27 +0000 Bao 2548057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have more than one LO, do you read to both of them at the same time before bed? Or do you read to one and then read to the other? </p> <p>Our girls are now on the same schedule for bed so we will read to them both in LO2's room and the tuck her in, then we go to LO1's room and read a little more. Then DH finishes up and puts her to bed the rest of the way. </p>
