When I hold A up to her bookshelf to pick a book she always picks her piggy bank. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-picks-the-books-you-read-to-your-kids-every-night#post-1442469 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 09:50:02 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1442469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They always have chosen. Lorelei has always been much pickier about her books than Ellie ever was, so she has been "choosing" since she was about 9/10 months. I would show her books and she would push them away. ;) Or sometimes not push them, and then I would read that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-picks-the-books-you-read-to-your-kids-every-night#post-1442461 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 09:42:08 +0000 Beehive 1442461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has started choosing - it sometimes makes reading before bed take a long time! He'll sometimes pick a book and change his mind once we start. I don't think he's actively stalling (he's only 16 months), I think he just doesn't know what he wants sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-picks-the-books-you-read-to-your-kids-every-night#post-1442394 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 08:52:30 +0000 honeybear 1442394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pick what books we buy and I exercise discretion at the library, so I have control over the possible selections, but I usually let him pick at least one book to hear at bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-picks-the-books-you-read-to-your-kids-every-night#post-1442329 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 07:20:29 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1442329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD does. We let her pick 2 books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-picks-the-books-you-read-to-your-kids-every-night#post-1442322 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 07:09:40 +0000 swedishfish 1442322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pick what I like. :happy: I know it won't last forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-picks-the-books-you-read-to-your-kids-every-night#post-1442284 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 05:36:36 +0000 lavender 1442284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M has a stack of books next to the recliner and she picks the books and the order in which we read them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-picks-the-books-you-read-to-your-kids-every-night#post-1442279 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 05:31:06 +0000 mrbee 1442279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put up picture shelves for the children books in Olive's bedroom, and now she can reach all of them herself. So every night, she picks the books she wants and hands me a stack. Boy is she opinionated about what she reads! It's a new thing so I'm still adjusting... but I love that she's so into it these days.</p> <p>Who picks the books you read to your kids every night? </p>
