he jokes, and I playfully roll my eyes, laughing with him. Then, Bill says, "Let's go see the kids' books. I want to get him something." His excitement is catching, and I follow him to the colorful shelves. He picks up "Goodnight Moon." "For bedtime at my place," he says softly, making my heart melt a little. I find a book about baby animals and nudge him. "This one's for afternoons with me. We'll turn him into an animal lover for sure." Bill laughs and agrees, adding both books to the pile in his arms.

I asked, sitting beside her. "Yes, Mommy," she said softly, her eyes sleepy but content. "Can you read me a story?" "Of course," I said, reaching for one of her favorite bedtime books. As I read, her eyelids grew heavier, and by the time I finished, she was barely awake. I tucked her in, making sure her stuffed animal was snug beside her. "Goodnight, Zendaya," I said, kissing her cheek. "Sleep tight." "Goodnight, Mommy," she murmured, already drifting off.

“I think if I have to read again about Corduroy losing his button, Swimmy and the school of red fish learning to overcome dangers together or Max being sent to bed without supper and traveling Where the Wild Things Are to become their king, I might be sick. Don’t we have any new books around here?” Juliet giggles and it fills me with so much joy, I nuzzle her neck as she replies. “Of course we do. There’s a whole shelf of them in her playroom. The problem is you let her pick. And if you weren’t so entertaining while you read to her—giving each character a different voice and acting out some of the parts—you might not have that difficulty. You’d bore her to sleep like I do.” “How else are you

Dora clapped excitedly as he reached for the story book from the shelf closest to her bed and sat beside her, opening it to the very first page. “Are you ready to hear about the adventure of Peter Pan?” “Yes, daddy,” Ryan smiled at her, kissing her hand before he began reading to her hearing and understanding. Soon, his soft and calm voice had lured the child into a peaceful sleep with soft snores escaping from her pouty lips. An affectionate smile spread across Ryan's lips when he noticed she was fast asleep. Gently and soundlessly, he got off the bed, returned the book and left the room, jamming the door softly.

After Amelia left the nursery, Andrew turned off the lights in the room, leaving only a dim night light. He placed Asher in the small bed and picked up a bedtime storybook. "What story does Asher want to hear? 'The Adventures in the Candy House'?" Andrew asked. Asher shook his little head, sitting up from the small bed. His tiny hands wandered through the bookshelf on the bedside table, finally pulling out a book, "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," handing it to Andrew. "Tell this one." Andrew opened the children's storybook and started reading.

Katřina received this as the appropriate response. Dinner. Bath. The bedtime book, which was currently a chapter book that Aiden read two chapters of each night and that Katřina listened to with the quality she had when she was tired enough for sitting still to be easier than moving but not yet tired enough for her eyes to be doing what they were about to do. By the end of the second chapter the eyes were doing what they were going to do. Aiden kept reading for another three minutes after she was asleep because he was at a good part and Katřina would have wanted to hear it.

When I see how much time is spent,I read them a bedtime story about the rabbit and the hare. I am in the middle of reading when I notice quietness, and I look down to notice the twins are already fast asleep. I close the book before leaning over to drop it on a nightstand. I pat their hair,a sigh of contentment escaping my lips, before kissing them on their heads. "Good night, my babies." I mutter,a smile on my lips, as I slowly drift into dreamland.

She promised. The boys all came running into the room and sat around Selene so she could start reading. Selene read about three chapters before they all fell asleep. Megan, Summer, Cra, Grace and Althea all picked up each one and tucked them into bed. Selene put River in her bed but as soon as she placed River down, River whimpered.

I was laying face up on my bed reading James Patterson's Along Came a Spider, when my dad opened the door till its limits. He has been doing this for the past few weeks in the hopes of catching me raping a nun one day, I think. 'Hey dad'. I croaked out. 'Zayn, shouldn't you be asleep?' 'I guess I should but I did that all day so I'm kind of spent'. He coughed awkwardly and I realized my mistake.

It was a strangely domestic image I’d started dreaming up only recently. At some point, my exhaustion overwhelmed me, and I napped while the twins played with Zayne in his room. The day went by quickly, and soon, it was time for bed. After bathing the twins and putting them in pajamas, we lay in bed while I read them a bedtime story. Luca conked off almost immediately, but Matteo held on till the end of the story. “And so they lived happily ever after,” I said, closing the book. Matteo yawned and snuggled into my arm. “Did you find Aunty Nora?” he asked groggily.
