Emily Reading

Today Emily read a book by herself!

Ok, so she didn't read it the way we would, but it was still a sweet moment.

We have small toy boxes scattered throughout the house. When I set her down next to one, she likes to explore what's inside. This morning she pulled the soft cloth book off the top and "read" it for several minutes. Instead of just feeling it and stuffing it in her mouth as usual, she set in on her lap (right side up), turned the first page, and studied it. Then she turned the next page, played with one of the flaps, and turned the next page. And so on, until she finished the book. We were amazed. It really did look like she was reading it.

While we scrabbled unsuccessfully for the camera in time, we did get this video of her later.  Isn't she cute?
