Anna is so funny these days--she'll discover something and then be absolutely obsessed with it for several days until the next thing comes along. One of her birthday presents was an adorable castle book with stickers and markers so you could create your own story. Anna was amazed!! We spent two days talking about the stickers and the book and what kind of story she was going to write. She is our child (i.e. mostly OCD) so I knew she would want it right the first time, so we counted out the number of pages and numbered a sheet of paper for our rough draft. We wrote out her story and tweaked it a little bit and then finally wrote it in her book. Then she was able to use the stickers and markers to illustrate it. It is so cute! Thanks, Madi, for a great birthday present!
She fell in love with this book and started carrying it everywhere we went and reading it over and over again (she can read it all by herself!). One day, she looked at me and said, "Mommy, I wish I could be in this story!!" Well, there just happened to be a window at the top of this book and Mommy had an idea. We dressed her up in a princess dress (she picked Sleeping Beauty), took a picture, and put her in the story!! How exciting!?
Upon writing this post, her new obsession is cars. One day she asked what the symbol on the back of all the cars meant, so I explained to her how it told what kind of car it was and/or which company made it. She now knows a slew of car symbols and yells them out as we drive past them. Crazy girl!!
