Reading Books

Over the past couple of month's Avery's favorite toy has changed from the various noise makers that you guys have purchased to torture us with to books.  Thankfully our friends and family have also graced us with a  huge pile of books for Avery to enjoy.  

Avery definitely has her favorite books that she likes us to read to her, but will patiently sit and work through an entire stack of books flipping the pages and studying them.  The funniest is when she reads them out loud. Sometimes it is grunting, sometimes baby talk, sometimes making animal noises.

The teacher says when it is time to read books, Avery is the one that picks the books for the teacher to read.  One day I saw the teacher pick up "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" and Avery went bananas.  In this picture the teacher is reading a book that Avery brought from home, because that is how we keep her occupied in the car....with books.  Avery refused to leave it in the car so she made it show and tell day.

 This was taken this morning.  Avery goes over to the corner where the books are and is pulling them out flipping through the pages.  Laura says that is what she is doing about half the time when she gets picked up from school.
