Norah is very into 'reading' her books and so will often times yell out words or phrases. For example, we read her Sandra Boyton book 'Dinosaurs' together.
Me: Dinosaurs...
Norah: Happy!
Me: Dinosaurs...
Norah: Sad!
Me: Dinosaurs...
Norah: Good!
Me: Dinosaurs...
Norah: Bad!
You get the idea. Her other favorite one to recite is 'Curious George Feeds the Animals' which is actually a good thing because I have read it 9,567,802 times and there would be something wrong with her if she didn't have it memorized.
I have written before how much Norah loves the Maurice Sendak book 'Pierre.' It was my book as a kid and I am not sure it is even in print anymore. Pierre's mom and dad and even a lion all try to have a conversation with him, but the only thing Pierre will say is 'I don't care.' Finally the lion eats him. At the hospital the doctor shakes him loose and having faced a near death experience, Pierre finally admits he cares. The final line of the book is: "The lion took them home to rest and stayed on as a weekend guest. And the moral of the story is..... CARE!'
Last night we were reading it and I paused after, 'and the moral of the story is....' And Norah yelled,
DON'T HIT!
Ha. I will take it.
