Story Time

Olive has recently started reading books to us - and she's really good at the ones she's memorized!  This first one is a new book, so she's making most of it up, and using nonsense words a lot of the time.  You can hear her say "crocodile", and "going somewhere?" to the elephants in the car at the end.  Don't mind when she gets sidetracked by the fuzzy hearts on the front...she's 2!

I love this next one.  She loves these Karen Katz lift the flap books, has since she was tiny.  She just got this one before Valentine's Day but it's quickly become a favorite.

Here's the narrative of this one..."This one about....where's the valentine?  Where's the valentine?  Under the chair?  Nope, just three balloons.  Under the table?  Under the pillow?  Nope, just yummy chocolates.  Yum, yum, yum.  Is it...in the cupboard?  Nope.  Find yummy cookies.  Is it in baby's room?  Yes!  There's baby's valentine.  Make it just for Mommy!  The end.  The end."
