Ella loves bedtime stories. Big shocker, right? I mean, you’ve probably never heard of a little kid who loves bedtime stories. But, maybe what you didn’t know was how many kids enjoy books on iPad. And that’s Ella.
“Read me some books on my iPad, mommy.”
That’s a big part of Ella’s new night time routine now. Because her mom and dad got her a new iPad for her 4th birthday. Sure, she loves her fun games and videos. But her favorite part is when mom reads books on her iPad and she can just lie there and listen to mom’s loving voice.
And another part that makes bedtime stories so special is how the two of them snuggle up under her favorite blanket with the only light in the room coming from the glow of the iPad.
“Which book do you want me to read tonight?” Her mom asked, as she tapped the screen to open the digital library. She had a good idea of Ella’s favorites. But it was part of the fun to ask and watch Ella’s face start looking at the book cover pictures.
“Read The Very First 6 Days,” Ella said. “And start on the third day. ‘Cause that’s where I think I fell asleep last time.”
“OK,” Mom smiled.
She swiped through their treasure trove of books on the iPad. And with a simple tap, the colorful cover of their chosen book lit up the screen.
As she read the first page, mom showed Ella how to use her finger to swipe to the next page. Ella giggled with delight. Because it was fun to watch how her finger made the picture and words on the page for the 4th day of creation magically appear. And mom read…
Now after three days you might wonder
What else God could do.
But He was only warming up.
He’s not like me and you.
See, God had plans to build a world
Where every living thing
Would live forever in His rest
To love and laugh and sing.
Ella lay there imagining a place where everybody would love and laugh and sing forever. “That must be a very special place,” she thought to herself.
And mom continued…
So God made lights up in the skies
To split the day from night.
The nighttime had…
But the little girl was just too tired to stay awake for the rest. It had been an exciting Labor Day weekend with lots of good food and fun. And she had already stayed up a little past bedtime.
