Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

From an early age Eliza has loved books and to be read to. Part of her bedtime routine has always included reading a story or 2. For several months, her favorite book was "The Night Before Christmas" and yes, it was very weird reading it to her in the middle of July but it was something that she loved and it would help her get ready to go to sleep. Lately she has become so much more independent and now she likes to read the books herself most of the time and gets mad at you when you try to help her. She even likes to sleep with a book or two during her nap during the day or at nighttime. For her birthday, the Corpuz' gave Eliza a new Nursery Rhyme book that Eliza absolutely loves. One of her favorites from the beginning has been "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" which is included in this new book. The other day, Emily was able to film Eliza for a minute while she was reading her book. If there was ever a contest for 2 year olds on how fast you could say/read Twinkle Twinkle, Eliza would take 1st place and it wouldn't even be close. The only problem is you can only pick up on certain words she says while reading it and she loves to read it fast. Here is a video of her doing this and also reading some of the other nursery rhymes too.

How fun! I just posted about how Josh falls asleep with books too. I guess we are experiencing a lot of the same things with our cute two year olds. Let's get together soon so they can play!
