Tyler has always loved, loved, loved to be told stories. We on the other hand have been feeling like we have run out of stories to tell. So we thought we'd try reading a novel to Ty. Would he be interested in just listening, even if there are no pictures to look at? We made our first attempt at reading a novel aloud with Harry Potter.
Tyler is hooked!! We made it through the first book in about 2 weeks and are on the second. Tyler loves them. He pays very close attention (even when he seems like he is doing something totally different). He thinks the funny parts are funny and when something exciting/scary is about to happen he pulls his covers over his head in anticipation. It has also been a great thing for passing the time when Tyler has to come to Hailey's gymnastics. Now if only I could get him this interested in starting to read on his own :). Tyler can't wait to see the movies. So we've convinced him that we can read the books now and then when he get to be older he can read the books again himself and then watch the movie after he finishes each book in the series.
