When we went into Nicholas' room to read his bedtime stories:
N: Where da udder book? (Where's the other book?)
S: Which other book?
N: Meerkat book. Meet da Meerkat.
S: Oh, your meerkat book. It is in the other room. Let me go get it.
And off I went to get his book, Meet the Meerkat. And then he proceeded to fill in the last word or phrase of each sentence throughout the book. This kid's memory is absolutely astounding. He tells you that the meerkat is long and thin, that he has a pointy face, that he is scared of jackals, that he lives with his brothers and sisters, and that he digs with his feet. Each only in the context of their sentence in the book. But still. Craziness.
Awesome, right? Abby can do a picture book after two or three reads with us. I love watching the gears turn!
