Our Top Ten

Several weeks ago my sister-in-law shared my niece's list of favorite books.  Cameryn and I found several on the list that we'd never read.  Since that list was so helpful to us, I thought I'd share our list and hopefully add a few names to someone else's list.  And a big thank you to Aunt Nicole - one of those books has become a great favorite of Cameryn's.  In no particular order, here's our Top Ten Favorite Books to read at bedtime.

1.  I love you through and through [Book]
My Aunt Catherine gave Cameryn this book at her baby shower.  It's one of the first that she pulls off the shelf at "night night" time.

2.  I Love You All the Time [Book]
This is a great story that explains that no matter what I'll always love my baby.

3.  I Love You More Than Rainbows [Book]
This was one of Faith's favorites and has become one of Cameryn's as well.

4.  God Gave Us You [Book]
What a great book this is!  My little girl is truly a gift from God.

5.  Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed Lap Board Book [Book]
I love watching Cameryn shake her finger and sternly say "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"  It's not quite that clear yet but it's obvious that's what she's trying to say.  :-)

6.  Snuggle Puppy: a little love song [Book]
I think Cameryn likes this book just because she thinks it's so funny to hear me sing.  Lol!

7.  You Are My I Love You [Book]
Cameryn is my everything but especially my "I Love You".

8.  Goodnight moon [Book]
Just like the story Cameryn says "night night" to everything on our way up to her bed.  Night night to each of the tickles (aka Clyde, Tigger & Boo) and night night to Loki after hugs and kisses to Daddy.

9.  Elmo Loves You! [Book]
Again, I think this is a favorite because Mama attempts to use an "Elmo" voice.  And she loves to give Elmo a kiss!

10.  Love and Kisses [Book]
This book caught my eye because I almost always ask for loves and kisses instead of hugs and kisses. Cameryn likes this book because of all the animals that receive love and kisses.

Although these have become Cameryn's favorites to read at bedtime there are plenty of others that she likes to read.  It warms my heart every time I'm worried because she's quiet and see that she's "reading" a book.  I'm so glad that it appears I've already been able to share a love of books with my daughter.  This is something that we'll always be able to share.

I hope that there's at least one book in our list that we'll be able to share with you.

"Night night" from Cameryn!
