Grandma and Grandpa bought Shane a book for Christmas, The Eighty-Dollar Champion. Horses aren't my passion, but I do love books.
I started reading it with Shane as a bedtime story within a day or two of getting it. It was new and shiny, so I wanted to strike while the iron was hot. I told Shane it would show he appreciated the gift if we got through it, too!
I figured we'd read a chapter a night or so (28 in total), but Carrie started to help with some daytime reading!
Shane can only sit so long. He likes to add in sound effects and dance around in ways that don't seem conducive to listening, but he swears he hears it all!
We haven't read every day. I ask Shane if he would like to and don't usually force it. Thankfully, we've read multiple chapters on other days. My goal is to have Shane finish the book before he goes to Nana and Pop's next since we won't be there to read it with him.
Loki prefers shoes, though. Fetch, tug of war, he's not picky about which.
He likes to push for attention if we're all still for too long. He'll settle for a nap at our feet if we're determined to read instead!
