Мама, да четем? -- Mama, shall we read? -- Nora often asks. "Papa, boek lezen?" Nora loves us reading books to her.

Since the babies came home we've had dinner together every night. The first weeks it was a lot of work to get everybody and everything ready at the same time, but it's getting easier.

Nora wants us to read to her over dinner. She will say: "Да ядем и де четем?" (Shall we eat and read?).

The rule is that we will first have dinner but then we indulge her and read books. It is nice to have a special moment in the day together.
