As a teacher, I am forever looking for those moments to teach my very own children. They are sponges right now and I take advantage of that at every opportunity, possibly a little too much! Anyway, Annie has loved reading from the start, but in a very different way than Brenden. Bren loves to look at the pictures and only wants to know the "real story". He very rarely makes up stories. But Annie, man she'll "read" anything you put in front of her and make up stories til the cows come home. It has been a real treat to watch them grow as little readers.
I came up from doing laundry in the basement to find my kids sitting and "reading" instead of watching the movie I put in for them (yes, the TV makes a great babysitter for this mama doing laundry)! YES, they are reading the phonebook! Yes, Bren is wearing a Boston Red Sox hat (so much for the Brewers). The phonebook has been one of Annie's favorite reading books. She loves the white pages and gives the yellow pages to Brenden. Simply amazing!
