Ellie has always preferred books to toys. In recent months, she has been more and more inclined to read along, and in the past few weeks, she has opted more and more often to "read" on her own. She had been doing that for quite a while to her friends (Lolo and other stuffed animals) in her room while avoiding naps or suffering time-outs, but the new development is her wanting to read to us. Her memory is astounding, and it's lovely to hear her read with inflection and enthusiasm! The last time she read to us from "Are You My Mother?", she asked me to "picture me". With pleasure, this week's video post:

Wow that was so great! What a memory! her inflections are perfect! She must have someone wonderful reading to her a LOT! Plus I loved the bonus of seeing Baby Stephanie climb down and walk away on the chair, then all of a sudden Markus looks around and sees she is not there and off he goes. The entire thing was precious, even your "Good Job" right at the end before Ellie said "I want to see!"
