If you could be a fly on the wall in our house, these are the words that you would here over and over again. Every night after our bath, Lawson and I read Julia a bedtime story and then place the book on the nightstand. Well, this week we read Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do I See? twice. Last Saturday, Lawson's mom and dad came to visit and while they were here, Terre, asked about the books on Julia's nightstand. I told her what we had been reading, and when I said Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do I See?, Julia crawled as fast as her little legs could take her to the night stand, knocked off all the books that

were on it, and found Brown Bear, Brown Bear... and said, "Brow Beah." WOW! We were in awe. Of course, I immediately ran over to her and read it about a million times to her, and she listened to every word, turned the pages, and wanted it read about a million more times. I was so proud, of my little Ju Ju Bean, and now it seems to be all we hear. All moms out there would definitely understand why I immediately had to run to the bookstore and buy Polar Bear, Polar Bear..., and Panda Bear, Panda Bear..., it just makes sense. LOL. Julia really seems to be into reading now and insists on bringing it with us everywhere we go (in the car, during breakfast, before nap time, at bedtime, during playtime, to Fry's and at 3:00 am). She is a very persistent little girl. She absolutely loves Brown Bear and when we get to the last page, she becomes a very sad little girl. She even has found a reading rhythm to the book. I cannot tell you how funny it is to watch her pick up this book and start bobbing her little head. Too funny! And now that we have this book memorized we say it to her in the car, even when we do not have the book. Needless to say, that even though it has become a family favorite, Lawson and I find ourselves wishing that there was a little bit of plot twist to this classic tale.
