It's a curiosity that I'm sure any parent of a toddler can relate to: why do young children want to read the same books over and over again? And what is it about some books that make them so beloved?
One of Sydney's favorites is called The Goodnight Book. It's a story about a little girl's bedtime routine. We've read it so many times that I probably could recite it from memory. Turns out, I'm not the only one who knows it by heart.
Routine is supposed to be good for their development - it's reassuring and helps build reading skills. However, it's mind numbingly boring for parents. The only plus is when you're so tired you'd like to drop, you can still read your child's favorite book with your eyes closed.
