Late night 11.30pm
Both of them start their reading time, each of them took 5 books on their hand. That mean I need to read 10 books before touching my pillow.
Since my girl's books reached me first, then I start reading books fast from book 1 to 4.
Tonight, the last book on my girl side was "Titanic", this whole books around 60+ pages + full of words in each pages. I almost fainted. I skip the first few chapters and start on chapters 3 when the Titanic scaped along the iceberg and ice cold water was flooding the cargo and boiler rooms.
Suprisingly, both of them interested in this story with fully concentration. Along the story telling, they keep asking a lots of questions.
Mommy asking a question: "The officers asked women and children to board the safe boats first." If four of us was on the Titanic ship. What should we do? Daddy cannot ride the safe boat with us. Should we go ahead without daddy or all of us together with daddy on the ship?
My boy start thinking and my girl as well. She keep silent and wait for her brother to answer first. Jonathan start answering " Mommy, Jie jie and me will go to life boats without daddy!". After a while, I question back "Then, daddy will left at the Titanic alone and the titanic will sink."
Hahaha......Jonathan continue and question me back "Mommy, can we don't aboard on the "Titanic", I don't like Titanic, both of them start yelling "It's too dangerous!".
I told daddy " You son want to left you on the Titanic and go ahead alone on the life boats. Daddy laugh and shake his head. hahaha.....his lovely son want to left him on the Titanic. So poor daddy!
After the Titanic story, he was sleepy and Chloe was already sleeping beside me. I taught that I had no need to read his part of books and switch off the light prepared to enjoy my sleeping time.
He woke up after few minutes! "Mommy, you haven't read my books!" I'm almost fainted! Switch on the light and continue reading...until the last books. He finally sleep when I read the last 2 pages.
Nowadays, My children can't sleep without reading. I'm so glad both of you love reading so much! We have been using a quote from a Taiwan author on reading habit.
"No reading for one day, your face will change."
"No reading for three days, you will become a pig."
Both of them laugh at this motivation quote by the author. hahaha.........In fact, this quote already in their heart and they practising this quote automatically.
I LOVE YOU! Good nite!
