Brown Bear, Brown Bear…
16th September 2008
Last night, Analise wanted to read me Eric Carle’s Brown Bear, Brown Bear. She flipped right through it, word for word memorized, from the red bird to the black sheep. She was quite pleased with herself and happily took it to bed with her to read to her bed buddies (last night that was jingly penguin, Fairy Dora, and the big polar bear).
This morning, she was up before Josiah, and as soon as she heard Josiah talking in his room, she bounced out of my bed, telling me she wanted to read to him. So I got Josiah up, and we snuggled into the couch together. Josiah was a captive audience as she “read” to him all about the colored animals. She finished and said, “Josiah, did you like it?”
“I wike da book,” he said. My heart nearly burst seeing their sweet little reading time. I look forward to many more!
