Books

Clara follows ALL day long hounding us to read her a book. She always has current favorites, books she will carry around with her basically anywhere she goes and she just turns the pages until she has every picture memorized. Just imagine what she will be like with books when she learns how to READ! I was just like that actually, I LOVED books when I was a kid. I was always getting in trouble for reading with a flashlight at night. Right at this moment, her favorites are a please and thank you book (a Richard Scarry one), a Thomas the Train one - The Big Big Bridge and (of course) the Beranstain Bears Junk Food book. She LOVES that Junk Food book. I was cracking myself up this morning because I was telling her in detail about the different systems of the body because in that book their are pictures of what the bears insides look like. For example, there in the nervous system and the digestive system. She was just STARING at the digestive system because I was telling her the connection with eating and poop, going from the mouth through the stomach etcetera. She was asking so many questions about it. It was so funny to hear her repeat words like digestive system back to me.

The other night she specifically asked Matt to read her two difficult books. No Jamberry or Pajama Dance for Clara. She wants a DIFFICULT book!
