THROWBACK THURSDAY #2 2018

...A 2nd blog entry just for me---as Lucy reads Llama Llama Red Pajama Feb. 2013, age almost 15 months. It's my way of preserving these precious moments since I don't "do" FB or have an automatic time line.
What a difference 4 years 9 months QUICKLY makes in a child's linguistic ability.

Listening, even to the whispers, one can tell she understands story line changes. Mama, baby, run, are all words she repeats. The first time I heard her read this before the recording, her voice inflection on "run" indicated she understood that sense of urgency. which the author intended.
It's more than just baby talk.

I smiled the entire 55 seconds I heard her "read" it (again) on this cold housebound Thursday.

THROW BACK THURSDAY #3

...another entry just for me---a grandmother with an affinity for books. Most former children's librarians never lose their love for sharing books. Watching a granddaughter follow in your footsteps, warms the heart.
