The Nick Jonas-Loving, 2-year-old Emergent Reader

Catchy title, ain't it?

I debuted as Brownie the Dog in the Storytime production of Goldilocks & The Three Bears this week at the preschool. My 30-something-year old knees may never forgive me. And Lucy may never call me "Mommy" again. I've been "Doggie" for 24 hours now.

When we got home from school yesterday, I was putting Lucy down for a nap.

Me: Lucy, what was your favorite part of the play today?

Lucy: I don't know.

Me: Who was your favorite character? Did you like Goldilocks? or Papa Bear? or Wee Baby Bear? or BROWNIE the DOG?!?!!?

Lucy: Ummm, I just like Nick Jonas.*



Seriously. What 2-year-old says that? A fourth child 2-year-old, that's who.

*Translation: "Y'all were okay, but it would have been fabulous if Nick Jonas could have at least made a cameo."

And I leave you with video of our little emergent reader. Teachers out there...look at the page turning, the fetching title, the engrossing beginning, middle, and end. She's a natural.
