I just had to share this funny thing that Sarah has been doing the last two nights---
We just got this Clifford lift-the-flap book at a consignment sale recently. She loves the book already. Each set of pages focuses on a different educational thing--like one page is about colors, one is about shapes, one is about numbers 1-10, and one about letters. The last page open to Clifford and all these kids reading, and the lift-the-flaps are all books, with a nursery rhyme title on the outside, and a verse or two on the inside. Sarah is absolutely infatuated with this last page. In particular, she loves the book cover and verse for two of the rhymes:
!) On the front: "Rain, Rain, Go Away"; on the inside: "Come Again Another Day" (with a cute pic of a little girl with an umbrella in the rain)
2) on the front: "Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall"; on the inside: "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall" (with a little pic of humpty falling and breaking)
She is so funny, because for the rain rhyme, she will sing it over and over, and say "Mommy, its raining" and "need umbrella". For the humpty rhyme, she will say "Oh, no!" and then say "Humpty broken" or "Humpty fall down".
She will turn to these pages over and over, and we read the book EVERY night. So cute. Just goes to show you what goes on in her little head, and how she is piecing together these concepts in her mind. She is really smart.
