Brown Bear

This morning Hadley (3 years and 6 mo.) read me Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See by Eric Carle. I was so surprised. It was the cutest thing ever. We have a new version of the book with little flaps showing what the animal sees and I suppose she finds that pretty interesting. But of course she read it by memorization which also made me feel great because I was reassured that we did something right by reading to her all the time.

This also gives me motivation to keep reading to both Hadley and Ellie as well as just talking to them.

Then as I was talking to her about her big accomplishment, I pointed out to her that we read that book a lot while she was little and she said yes and I read it to Ellie. She then said, "And, Ellie will read it when she gets big. And, I want to be a Mommy too!" I said, "Well you can be a Mommy but first you are kid, being a kid is soo much fun, you don't want to rush it." She said, "Yes first I was a baby and now I will be a kid and then after that I can be a Mommy." "Sure," I said, "That works!"

She forgot adolescence and teenager and college kid and late 20's and early 30's and than Mommy!

It the little things that make being a Mom so wonderful!
