recently at our house...

It was time to read books before bed on a Saturday night. Brynn picked out a book her Nana (my mom) got for her. Its one of those picture book. RIchard Scarrys "World Best Word Book Ever"

Usually, Brynn likes to go through each page and describe whats going on, what she sees, what they are doing, what she associates with an object. There is one page with a Wine Barrel and a picnic table, and Brynn says that this is her Daddys work.

So last night she grabs the book and we get all snuggled in bed, and she has SPECIAL directions for me:

B: Mommy, don't talk, just look with your eyes.

M: Um ok.

So we go through a couple of pages of complete silence and she gives me a litte flick of her wrist when she wants me to turn the page...well, I start to get restless. On the next  page:

M: The park is a fun place to b-

B: I said don't just look

a few more pages in complete silence and a few flicks of the toddler wrist:

M: What do you see Bry-

B: Stop. talking. Mommy.

Well, I learned my lesson after this one. When we got to the last page she said "Last page!"

and that was it. Such a strange experience for a normally gabby toddler and mom.
