Father’s Day is tomorrow.  It’s a day to celebrate all the wonderful dads out there, so I will tell you one thing that makes my husband, Rajiv a great one – who my son, Dylan absolutely adores!  He leads a busy life during the week with work as he has always been ambitious and career driven.  No matter how busy he is, the one thing that he does not compromise on is taking the time to read to our son before he goes to bed.  Dylan is now at that a stage where he wants the same book read to him 20 times and each time we put it down, his cute little face convinces us to read it again for the “last time”.  I see the pure enjoyment on our son’s face as these are some precious moments that I hope he is able to vaguely remember later on in life.

Dylan’s go-to nighttime books at the moment:

• Pout Pout Fish, by Deborah Diesen and Dan Hanna (love this cute little story of a fish who is misjudged)  
• Itsy Bitsy Spider, by Joe Rhatigan (a cute, extended version of the traditional song with lots of other bugs)
• Little Owl’s Day, by Divya Srinivasan (a story about an owl who happens to be awake during the day)

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads!

(Other nighttime books: Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Daddy)
