Everyone is learning something

This morning as Zoey looked over the new "Book of the Week," Madeline, Sierra is holding up the book from last week, Storm in the Night. She starts telling me something and I can't understand her as usual so I just nod and say, "Uh, huh." She gets my attention again and says, "booadaweee!" I think for a second or two longer as she keeps saying it then it dawns on me. I ask her, "Are you trying to tell me that is the book of the week?" She lights up and says, "Yes." Big smiles on both of our faces. She gets it too even though she is just two. :-)

Zoey told me this morning that we forgot to do school yesterday. I explained that we don't have to do school on Sundays but I was so happy to hear that she was missing it. When I showed her the new book of the week she was so happy. She is very excited about Madeline and said she likes the book so much more than Storm in the Night. Funny girl. Later when we were looking at library books she got Storm in the Night and Madeline and starts to look for The Story of Ping (ok I am sick of underlining titles). I asked her if she wants to keep all of the book of the week books together and she said yes. She started to carry them around like they were treasure. I guess I am giving her a love of literacy.
