Reading & Reciting

Here is a little glimpse into my night-time routine. To get ready for bed, I take a bath, then read some stories and have a yogurt snack, put on my pajamas, brush and floss my teeth, and lastly read some more stories in bed. These two videos are from step #2 - reading stories after the bath. For the record, I am wearing an hooded-towel, my bear backpack (thanks Nana & Popi!), and am wrapped up in a blanket. And I have a yogurt mustache. Grandma was the videographer for both of these movies.

Here I am reading along in Skunka Tanka:


And here I am reciting "Halloween Hoot," a story about Bonnie Bird and Chester Chipmunk in my favorite magazine (text is below, so you can check for accuracy):


"It was a Halloween night. Chester was walking through the woods to his friend's house. The woods were dark and quiet. Bats flew overhead. A voice in the woods called out, "Whoooo's there?" Chester looked up and saw two eyes glowing. "Oh no, it's a ghost!" Chester cried out as he started to run. "Wait, Chester! It's just me," said Bonnie, coming down from the tree. "I'm dressed up as an owl for Halloween." Chester laughed. "You fooled me!" he said. "I'm just a real hoot tonight," said Bonnie, laughing.
