Amy the bookworm

While Amy isn't quite as into books as Reed is/was (I mean, who is?), she does love to have books read to her. And something she does that I don't remember Reed doing is sitting down with a familiar book, turning each page and recounting the story. She doesn't get it word for word, since these are usually longer books, but she always gets the gist of what's happening on each page. It's really quite neat....but she only does it when she thinks no one is watching/listening to her, and if she catches you watching, she'll stop. She did this a lot on our car trip home from Florida in May, with a book about a little girl going to ballet class, and it was so fun to hear her reading her stories to herself. What a growing up girl.
