Reading is a way for me to expand my mind, open my eyes and fill up my heart - Oprah
Like many working parents, the time spent with our little ones is as precious as it can be. Emma turns in at 9pm so the night time on weekdays is pretty short. All in all, we have 2.5 hours for cooking, dinner, bath, play, learning, milk and getting ready for bed.
As much as I could, I would love to spend the entire night time bonding with her. Every night is different with a mix of individual & accompanied play. When I wasn't exhausted from a long day at work, I would engage Emma in random activities like art crafts and role play.
However, there are some desperate nights when my brain was on the verge of shutting off and I had no extra energy to spare. We do without TV on weekday nights so I usually ended with reading books for some bonding time. She enjoys stories and with so many benefits to reading, why not?
