Books for two year olds

July 24, 2013

books for two year oldsLevi loves visiting the Omaha Public Library. He excitedly runs through the children’s section, pulling books off the shelves, while I trail behind picking up the mess. (Obviously we have not yet mastered library etiquette, and “use your inside voice” means little to nothing to Levi at the moment.)

Previously, we only checked out board books because I didn’t want Levi to tear the paper pages of books that didn’t belong to him. But now that he’s slightly more trustworthy — and also willing to sit and listen to a longer story — I feel more comfortable borrowing hardcovers.

I usually pick out a handful of books based on cover art or topic. (Yes, I totally judge a book by its cover. Especially picture books!) Sometimes Levi will request a choo-choo or a truck book, and I’ll dig through the stacks until I find something with eye-catching images and a reasonable amount of words on each page.

Looking for books to read with your two year old? Here are some of Levi’s current favorites:

Top: Red Truck / Truck Stop

Middle: How to Catch a Star / I Must Have Bobo! / Chopsticks

Bottom: Along a Long Road / Cuddle Up, Goodnight

What books do your kids ask for night after night?

P.S. – Looking for more book recommendations? Check out these picture books, board books, and lovey-dovey Valentine’s Day books. Also, books about deployments for children with military parents.

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend! (Dont worrDay 11 | Emotions have been running high the past two days and everyone has a short fuse. Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about. But with cars parked on one side of the road and moving cars to trying to pass them & the pedestriansOn the first day of #socialdistancing my true love made for me Nutella-filled croissantsyummy!  On the second day of social distancing my true love made for me banana muffins with a crumb topping.  On the third day... Nope. Tomorrow we work from home/homeschool our kids so its cereal for everyone!  #onedaycv #covidquarantine
