B is for...

Here is an example of how much kids learn from having books read to them.

Today, Mr. Mister and I were reading an alphabet book and there was a picture of a blue bird next to the B. I said, "B is for..." And he quickly said, "Blue Heron!" Haha, I was thinking bird, but I guess that's too basic!

He got blue heron from one of Eric Carle's books Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What do You See? I really like this book because it has all kinds of different animals that he's learned, like a mountain goat, a flying squirrel, a prairie dog, and a screech owl. We read it so much that he pretty much has it memorized and it's cute to hear him say all of those animals!
