My turn

My mom always told me that when I was young, I made she and my dad read Cinderella to me over and over again until they were so tired of it they couldn't stand it. I thought maybe she was exaggerating a bit, but not anymore. Shelby has discovered a favorite book and I am living what my mom told me about. Her book is Go Dog Go! She has had favorite books in the past, but never quite like this. We have been reading it 1 or 2 times a day every day for about a month. I can recite parts in my sleep! In fact, yesterday Shelby and I were repeating parts from memory in the car. A (small) We can even her her "reading" it on the monitor after we put her to bed. Too cute! Part of me loves reading it to her over and over because she is starting to "read" parts of it to me. I don't kid myself into thinking that she is really reading, but she says the right words on the right page. It makes the reading teacher in me smile!

Sarah has also gotten in on the action. She has started bringing me books and then sitting on my lap so I can read to her. She also brings me the same 2 or 3 books so we are getting to know them very well.

We are getting quite a bit of use from the pool so far this week with the heat being back. Yuck! Can't summer just mean 84 degrees every day with low humidity? Where is it like that because I want to move there?!?
