Grumpy Bird

Thanks to the recommendation of the sweetest mommy/librarian I know - I bought a new book for Lily called "Grumpy Bird". It became a FAST favorite. We've had it less than 2 weeks, and she already has it practically memorized. Here is her rendition. I know you won't understand a lot of what she is saying, so I suggest you run out and buy it. It's great! How cute is she - sitting on the rocker just reading away!?

P.S. My Jesus Calling book finally came in this week. TY for the suggestion. Also, thank you for the kindest comment you left tonight. I have been feeling kinda down (nothing serious...just overwhelmed) and it really lifted my spirits! thank you! I adore you and the bubble queen.

Aww!!! While I know she is not 'reading' the book, I just wanted to let you know that she already has well developed literacy skills (I'm going to be a reading specialist, so I can see these things). You should be a proud mommmy :) Have a great week!
