The Mommy Tapes

I travel overnight quite often for my job and it can be difficult for my son when I’m gone. My husband told me that it was particularly hard at night when he was getting him ready for bed. So I decided to make it a little easier by recording several bedtime stories on a small handheld tape recorder. Now when I’m gone my husband puts my son to bed then turns on the tape so I can read him his bedtime story. It seems this small addition helped to ease his troubles and now he really looks forward to hearing me read and talk to him through the tape recorder.
