I couldn't believe it last night. I was feeding Minifoo her well blended mixed veggies and fruit mix and Lil'Foo came over and pointed out that Minifoo's face was full of food. I told him it's okay because babies are messy eaters. Lil'Foo disappears for a mintue and then comes back to the table with a tiny book...
Lil'Foo: Like this Mama? Babies are messy eaters.
To my amazement he got a book that he hasn't read in ages and turned right to the page that shows a picture of a baby with a messy food face and reads "Babies are messy eaters" My mouth dropped, maybe 3.5 year olds are already suppose to be doing this, I have no idea but it floored me. But WAIT it gets better! Lil'Foo then proceeds to turn the pages and tell me almost word for word what each page says! He does this for the full 6 or so pages of the book.
Now, are 3.5 year olds suppose to be able to memorize a book completely that they haven't read in a good 6 months?
But WAIT it gets EVEN beter!!! Lil'Foo then pulls out another small book of first words and starts to "read" that one.
Lil'Foo: Cat, Glasses...The cat wears the glasses...
he completes the whole book....simple little $1 books that I picked up at Target once, now I feel they were probably one of the best "investments"!
