Another of our bedtime rituals (not usually observed by Mumma-with-Camera). Every night my husband reads Toby a story, and then I read him his special bedtime book (Time for Bed by Mem Fox–I’ve read that story to Toby every single night since he was about 5 months old! It’s been wonderful watching him change in his response to it as he’s gotten older, from learning how to turn the pages to pointing at the animals to making animal sounds and most recently kissing the little girl on the last page and waving goodnight).
My husband is reading Toby a book by author/illustrator Wendy Binks called ‘Stripey’, all about a family of emus. Toby loves it, especially the page with the kookaburras on it–he never fails to let rip with an ‘ooh ooh ah ah ah’ when he sees it.
I underexposed this on purpose and shot it at ISO1600, and even though it’s really grainy, I’m still really happy with the clarity and tone that came out. It perfectly captures the magical mood of bedtime stories in our house.
