Good idea about picture books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo-2#post-1793864 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 09:36:13 +0000 Cole 1793864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember how old your older one is but what if you try letting them "read" some simple board books to your youngest? It might be fun to get some wordless picture books too and take turns making up the stories and naming various things too, that way you feel like they're both getting something out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo-2#post-1793820 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 09:18:45 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1793820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we read books that are olive's level when we read to both of them. Charlie still enjoys them but we usually do chapter books at bedtime and do bedtime separately for both kids. maybe in 2 years we can read the same books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo-2#post-1793806 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 09:14:56 +0000 Andrea 1793806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read both. My 4 year old still likes the simple ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo-2#post-1793690 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 08:37:22 +0000 Mamaof2 1793690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope- DS loves to listen to the simple books I read DD - </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-more-than-one-lo-2#post-1793683 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 08:36:03 +0000 autumnlove 1793683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you only books out loud that are geared towards the older LO? </p> <p>I only read "story" type books that will keep my older LO preoccupied and LO 2 listens in the background. One of our EI therapists reminded us to keep reading simple picture books because it is good for identifying words and building language skills. </p>
