i had to work late tonight (month end close) and couldn't go swimming, and Char didn't nap today and was fussy/clingy, so i decided we should watch Sesame Street together. Plus she asked for it ("Melmo?"). Toward the end, i told her when Elmo is over, it will be time for her bath. She climbed the tv stand and turned the tv off and ran upstairs. i guess she was tired!
After her bath, when she was all dressed in her jammies, we read her 2 favorite books, which are "Please, Baby, Please" and "Llama Llama Red Pajama". We read these 2 almost every night.
About halfway through "Please, Baby, Please" (which has the words "please" and "baby" repeat periodically), Char asked what certain objects on the page were. She asked what the word "baby" was, so i said, "It's the word 'baby'." She pointed at other versions of the word and said "baby" on every page to the end. Then the last page it replaces "baby" with "mama" and she asked what it was, so i told her.
Then we read "Llama Llama Red Pajama", and she pointed out (and said) the words "baby" and "mama" all the way through the book. Now, i'm sure she'll forget those words tomorrow, but i'm really pretty amazed (and a little scared) by how smart she is!
