Not sure if I'm posting in the right place but I would love some advice. DS1 is 5, just starting to read on his own and really into it. DS2 is 2yrs 8 months. I have been reading their bedtime story together for about the past 6 months - usual suspects, Julia Donaldson, fairy tales, Tiger Who Came to Tea, Night Pirates - that kind of thing. I am now thinking that DS1 may be ready to move onto chapter books - the Moomins, Roald Dahl etc - as he has been having these stories for the last 3 years really. I think DS2 is too young to follow chapter books though.
Obvious answer is to start reading separate bedtime stories again by putting them to bed separately BUT a) as of 4 weeks ago they now share a bedroom and have the same bedtime and b) I am expecting DS3 who is due early May, so will have another little person to factor into the whole bedtime equation.
Help!! Any ideas? Anyone had a similar situation? Don't want to hold DS1 back in terms of his progression through the lovely world of childrens books but likewise don't want DS2 to miss out on what DS1 had - which is a complete little story or two every night until he is 4 or 5. Any suggestions would be v welcome!!
