Big Sister Reader

Maevy,

You've always been a great, big sister, but this video is one of the cutest things I've seen in a while. About every other night you and Carter take a bath together. He loves splashing around with you and we love knocking out 2 baths at 1 time. Carter finishes his bottle and goes to bed right after bath time. Then we all head down stairs for dinner. Besides constantly sneaking into his bedroom to "borrow" his baby books, you also have a fondness for a few particular "baby" books; one being, "Brown, Bear, Brown Bear". I think you've had this book memorized since you were 2ish (not sure if we have a video of this saved somewhere in our digital archives). Recently, you've asked to read Carter a book along with the other books Mommy and Daddy typically read him.

Carter has his ears off after bedtime; so Mommy usually reads loudly right into his ear while he finishes his bottle. So when you read him a book, we instruct you to "read it loud.", which you do. This video isn't a great representation of Carter's attention span. I think he was distracted by the camera and all the people in his bedroom. He's usually a better listener. Either way, I think you're adorable and a great, big sister reader!

Love,

Mommy
