Love of reading...

Lillie loves to read which we both think is fantastic! She will sit and read through ten books at a time. This past year she learned all of her letters and likes to spell things out and have you tell her what the word is. Some of her favorite books right now are the Fancy Nancy series by Jane O'Connor. She loves learning "big words" and then using them in sentences. These books are all about Nancy who likes things to be big and exaggerated, much like Miss Lillie. The main character is also very girly which is also a lot like Lillie. Every night when putting Lillie to bed we let her pick out a book or two (sometimes three :)) to read. Last night Lillie chose her Fancy Nancy book and I read it to her. Afterwards she always wants to read the book back to you. Here is Lillie's version of Fancy Nancy last night in typical Lillie style - notice the "yup, yup" in the middle of her telling the story.
