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?
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.

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.

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.
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.

Yes, they are on the same schedule now. LO1 loves story time, LO2 could care less.

No. DD2 is so so tired by 715 that it's one short book and she's in bed.

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.

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.

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

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....

My kids are 5 and 2.5 years old, and we all read together. Both kids will choose books that they want to read, and everyone sits down together to read.
