My tip is to choose a character that is something your child loves, and give it his name. So, if he loves trains, tell a story about Timmy the Tank Engine. Personalize it as you go with things he does or says. I also choose classic stories eg The Three Pigs, and morph them into The Three Trains.

My old standby is Ava’s birth story. She loves to hear about the day she was born. I try to make it more understandable by “simplifying” things for her :

“It was Saturday morning and I heard this faint knocking.” (referring to my early labor contractions)

She thinks it’s hilarious and begs me to tell it over and over again.

It’s our favorite.
