Snuggle Puppy

We read a lot of books at our house.

 Both of my kids decided at pretty young ages that they had favorites that had to be read 

every.single.day.

For Katelee, it was Goodnight Moon.  She had other favorites, too, but Goodnight Moon HAD to be read every single night before she would go to sleep.  We memorized it pretty quickly, and I can still recite it from memory.  :)

For Blake, it is this adorable book his grandma sent him for Valentine's Day last year:

He LOVES this book.

Which means that we all have it memorized.

And read it to him every.single.night.

Lately, the nightly singing of Snuggle Puppy has turned into a family affair.  We hear daddy start to sing and we all come into Blake's room to sing along.  It's become a nightly routine that I treasure.  And there is no question that Blake feels loved.  :)
