I finally got around to taking some of the pictures off of my phone. A few weeks ago we read the book "Bedtime for Frances" written by Russel Hoban and Illustrated by Garth Williams.
We have a few different Frances books and Ruby has always really liked them. After reading this cute (and all too familiar) story about Frances not wanting to go to bed we did some talking about Ruby's bedtime. She talked about all the things she does before she goes to bed. She did a great job walking through every detail (we have essentially done the same things since she was about 3 months old).
Ruby decided that her favorite thing to sleep with was her pink princess bear. I "drew" a picture of the bear for her to color and she was super excited and focused. She spent a lot of time coloring her picture and wanted to do several more. She tried cutting the bears out but needed some help from Mama. She played with those bears for several days after we read the story.
Coloring with her sister
Like any true artist she had to have a model
I am not an artist but my 3 year old doesn't care :)
We finished off our time by watching "Frances: Bedtime for Frances"
on Netflix Instantly
