Firecracker may be the only four-year-old girl whose chosen bed-time reading last night was Big Yellow Trucks and Diggers. This had some informative tid-bits such as "The sky is blue. The track-type tractor is yellow" and "The hard hat is green. The wheel loader is yellow" and my favorite, "The garbage is many different colors. The landfill compactor is yellow." As you can see, the theme was "yellow."
Every Saturday I take Firecracker to the library while DramaQueen is in drama class. Yesterday Firecracker insisted on wearing her gold dress-up shoes to the library. They had gotten mixed up with her sister's, so she was wearing two right feet, and she's still so small that there's a good 5 inches of shoe sticking out behind her. She was pretty delighted with herself, though. As usual she took off to find books for herself. I suggested she look in the section on animals. She likes to get books about monkeys and tigers now and then. This time she chose Tunneling Earthworms. Perhaps that will be our bedtime reading tonight.
I absolutely adored this glimpse of your family.
ReplyDeleteBe blessed - tunneling earthworms rock!
Hooray! I love that the library is a part of your weekly routine and that you have an adventurous reader-in-the-making.
ReplyDeleteOkay, the trucks I get (and I love the description of garbage!), but worms just totally gross me out. Sigh. Your four year old is already more grown up than I am... LOL!
