Mommy's New Favorite Thing

Kids' books on CD.

The. Best. Thing. Ever.

I got a few picture books with an accompanying CDs from the library on Tuesday. The girls have listened to them non-stop since we brought them home. In the morning when they wake up, during quiet time, before dinner when they are grouchy, before bed instead of me reading to them...

And they never get bored. There's one that they think is too scary (I think there is a space ship in it) but a couple others they listen to over and over and over again. And one is expository text! About teeth! And they've listened to it at least 10 times in the last 4 days! So fabulous.

Seriously, I don't know why I haven't tried this before. And why is there a limit of 6 per library card? Can I use this as a reward? Or take it away as a consequence for bad behavior? It would probably work. It's just that good.

Best. Thing. Ever.

Well, it's the best thing this week, anyways...

I am going to try that again... We got a few books on CD for Scott a while ago, and they were exciting for 2 days. But I bet Charlotte would be all over it.

I THINK I'LL LOOK INTO THIS FOR BIG PEOPLE...THEN I COULD "READ" WHILE WALKING THE DOGS & DOING OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF (LIKE WEEDING) & I ALSO WOULD NOT GET INTO TROUBLE FOR WASTING TIME SITTING ON THE VERANDAH DOING NOTHING BUT WATCH EAGLES SOAR...EVERY ONE SHOULD DO THAT OCCASSIONALLY XOXO
