Getting to this post a little late but I love it. My wife and I try to alternate days between our two kids so that they each get stories from Mom and stories from Dad.

I love having the time to read to my kids and really regret the nights that I do not get home in time for story time.

My partner’s least favourite book to read our daughter is “How to be a Ballerina” – but he does it if she chooses it.
He groans, but she just laughs and hands it to him.

My wife and I take turns doing bedtime which includes reading chapter books. We have been through the whole trilogy of Tolkien as well as Douglas Adams Hitchhiker’s Guide and more. The kids usually take over the reading and read ahead between bedtimes.

Chudez, that is a great idea. I’ll get to work on that. You baby must be saved by Silmarillion.
