(It kind of reads in the funny way that Diary of a Wimpy Kid reads.) When the book was all done, I said, “Your assignment tomorrow is to think of one thing you want to change about yourself.
It’s about a kid who really wants freckles and gets a recipe from a mischievous girl to make a potion, basically, that will give him freckles. It’s such a touching, funny, relatable story. With each chapter I gave my kids The Bedtime Choice – “Should I read the next chapter, or do you want to go straight to bed?” So needless to say, we read the whole book in about 30-45 minutes. So, I read the book Freckle Juice, by Judy Blume. And, they are super excited and engaged to do so.īack to Freckle Juice. And, 95% of the time, they choose what I wanted them to choose because they get to stay up later. So, when something like that happens, I give them what I call The Bedtime Choice. They always chose a different read-aloud book instead. For some reason, this book did not look fun to them. This past week, whenever I said, “Who wants to listen to me read this book?” They all groaned. Staying up an extra 30 minutes is always their preference!Īs a side note, that’s my big hack. At bedtime, I gave them the choice, “You want to go to bed now? OR…you can stay up with me, cuddle with me in my bed, and I will read this really fun book to you?” I’m sure you can guess what they picked.
