I Love Books

My mama reads me books. My daddy reads me books. My E-Ma and Tia Anjuli read to me. I have some good ones but need some more board boks that I can explore with my mouth when we're done.

Today, though, I had a new experience with my mama. We read The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Then afterwards she did something she never did before; she showed me the back cover and said "There's the caterpillar." Then she asked and signed to me, "Where's the caterpillar?" I took a little time, then looked at the page, played with it a bit, [she asked me again], and finally I "pointed" to the caterpillar with my fingers. She seemed surprised to learn that I knew what the caterpillar was. She turned to another page and asked me. This time I found it more quickly. She tried one last time on yet another page, but I showed her that I really did know what she was talking about. Now she thinks I'm smart!
