"Again"

Neely likes reading more than ever lately. Her favorite books these last few days have been Robot Zot and How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight. A few nights ago she outlasted both of her siblings at bedtime and just wanted to keep reading forever.

I think we truly read How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight between 20 and 30 times in a row. She'd point out things in the pictures and talk about them, and every time we got to the page where it says "Does he fall on the top of his covers and cry?" she'd want to linger there, touching his tears with her finger and saying "Dragon crying." She pronounces it "Dagon kying" though. Then on the last page she'd talk about how he "Hugs" and when we closed the book she'd say "AGAIN!? MORE MORE MORE" and start frantically doing the sign for "more" to be SURE we knew she really wanted to hear it again.
Then suddenly we read the last page and she was finally done and didn't ask for more.

The next day she wanted to read some more books. I like how it looks like my legs are hers in this pic. Ha.

Have you read "How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon?" It's a good one... we read it every year in my class on "Sick Day" (a glorified pajama day ;))Sounds like Neely's cup of tea. :)

No Michelle! I knew there were others but I haven't ever read them. She WOULD love it. I guess a trip to the library is in order.
