These are books and stories that we have read together, aloud, in the evenings, throughout our relationship. This practice of reading together started very early on, and is something we do on an almost-nightly basis. Even when we go on vacation, we usually bring books to read together before bed. To be fair - Miles reads to Cindy about 99% of the time. When he's very tired or otherwise not feeling well, then Cindy may read to Miles.
