But I love doing it so she'll learn to like it eventually. </p> Baby Boy Mom on "If you have more than one kid, do they like being read to at the same time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-kid-do-they-like-being-read-to-at-the-same-time#post-1871327 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 14:34:51 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1871327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but only if it's an easy book. If there are too many words the younger one loses patience and leaves. The older one doesn't mind! </p> Andrea on "If you have more than one kid, do they like being read to at the same time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-kid-do-they-like-being-read-to-at-the-same-time#post-1871325 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 14:30:00 +0000 Andrea 1871325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 doesn't mind, but DD2 does. We've had lots of crying story times, but it is what it is since I am usually solo! </p> JMOM on "If you have more than one kid, do they like being read to at the same time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-kid-do-they-like-being-read-to-at-the-same-time#post-1871324 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 14:26:17 +0000 JMOM 1871324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, thankfully both of them like to be read to and most of the time they don't care what I read. At bedtime I try to read one book that my DD (5) picks and one that my DS (2) picks and then one that we haven't read in a while (my husband loves books so we have a ton). </p> mrbee on "If you have more than one kid, do they like being read to at the same time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-kid-do-they-like-being-read-to-at-the-same-time#post-1871279 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 13:21:10 +0000 mrbee 1871279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our kids each have books they enjoy, but not a huge number of books that they both enjoy. It makes reading to them together a little trickier - but thankfully, the younger one usually will agree to listen to anything that the older one wants to (since she loves to copy him).</p> <p>If you have more than one kid, do they like being read to at the same time? </p>
