Reading books together is something that has been a part of our nightly bedtime routine since Mini Pbj was just a baby. It’s one of my favorite times of the day, because it’s about the only time she will still let me hold her! I love snuggling up together in the glider in her room and reading some bedtime stories. Actually, Mr. Pbj and I take turns putting Mini to bed every night because we both love having that alone time with her. She usually gets three books read to her and then into bed she goes! Here are some of our favorite bedtime books and the ones that Mini Pbj asks for over and over again!
