i love alice in wonderland, read that to mia quite a lot, though she is very vocal about what mummy reads at bedtime!

Evan reads Thomas Thomas and more Thomas!!!!

He has a book shelf full of books but every night he chooses to read a Thomas book! Or very occasionally Hairy McClarey!

I have told OH and my family that thats it now, NO MORE THOMAS BOOkS because its seriously driving me mad now! I want to get him some classic childrens storys like Goldilocks and the three bears, or Hansel and Grettle or The Three Little Pigs. He hasnt got The Hungry Caterpiller either so will definately get that for him too.

We have to read 'A Squash & A Squeeze' a thousand times before bed! The only other book Isabelle will 'allow' is Goldilocks!
