Today at lunch Abigail asked Ilyse to tell her the story of Sleeping Beauty. Ilyse couldn't remember the story in great detail so she told Abby the broad outline – the birth, the spell, the prince, etc. Abby said, “Mommy, I don't want you to tell me the theme of the story, I want you to really tell me the story.” Our 4-year old knows what a theme is.
This morning she read a whole book, Green Eggs and Ham, to Bennett. She pretty much knows this one by heart so it was not quite reading but it was truly amazing to see Bennett sitting next to her on the bed listening and looking at the pictures as if it were Ilyse or I reading to him.
