Reading to Joey every night

(*see.... I'm inspired na tlga.. wala pang 5 minutes may naisip na ulit ako na isusulat sa blog.. hehehe..)

As you may all know, Joseph Anthony "Joey" Rabe-Alleva is my one and only or kaisa-isang anak.
He's been growing up so fast that he is already getting bored with the same books that I read to him every night. One time, while looking for a book to read, Joey saw my small bible that I put under my pillow. He then said, mommy.. read to me this book. My small bible is color red and book bound... I guess he liked how it looked like. :) :) :)

So from then on.. I never have problems deciding what to read to him.. hehehe.. Cause I now read to him the BIBLE!!! Isn't that fantastic?! I find it amazing that even though he doesn't understand the words completely, he finds comfort in hearing it. I certainly know it relaxes him cause he falls asleep after reading one chapter at least.. hehehehe.... On other nights when he can't seem to sleep I have to read two to three chapters. :P

I started reading the book of Matthew a month ago.. Now we are in the book of Mark chapter 8 na :) hehehe...

Cool eh?! I just hope he doesn't outgrow this wonderful routine we've started.
This routine is really a great blessing to me also.. cause of course I get to read the bible again too.

:) :) :)

Sometimes I do reverse psychology to him also.. I tell him, Do I really have to read the book joey? Mommy's sleepy na... and because my son is the type of child who insists on the opposite of what you suggest.. the more that he says.. Mommy please read... or Mommy, Read ka na... hehehehe.....

Galing ng strategy ko noh?! hehehehe

I really pray he doesn't outgrow it.

'Til my next post!
