If you have read the "About Me" section in my blog you would know that I have a daughter that is almost 2. Everyday she does something to amaze me. Since this blog is all about reading I wanted to talk about how much she loves it when we read to her.
She has several books. For a while, she was really into Duck and Goose by Tad Hills but now she has branched out and likes most of her books. However, she does have one favorite that I have read an enormous amount of times this last week. It is called Happy Easter Mouse by Lauren Numeroff. She has had this book since her very first Easter so it is very funny to see how she picks her books out and suddenly she has a new favorite that has been on her shelf forever! Anyway, one of the first times we read this book last week was shockingly funny to her. She would belly laugh after the first page! If you have not read this book it is about Mouse who decorates his Easter eggs. When he wakes up on Easter morning the eggs are hidden all around the house. After the first page he finds two eggs on the counter by the milk carton. My daughter found it to be hilarious! So, naturally we would start to read the book with disbelief that the eggs were hidden all around!! Just by simply putting our own silliness and surprise voice into the reading she would crack up laughing harder.
It is the simple things in life that make me so happy and grateful to be a mommy!! I love that she is interested in having books read to her and that she has her own personality and opinion about them. Who knew a book could be so funny to a 2 year old??!!
