Last week, Abigail's kindergarten teacher sent home a form for me to fill out and return. It was basically a "get-to-know-your-child" form. One of the questions on the paper was, "Do you read to your child?" As an elementary teacher married to a doctor who can't get enough of reading, I smiled as I checked the "yes" box. I can assure you that there is not a shortage of children's books in this house. We are constantly reading to Abby and Michael!
For Abby's birthday, she received a box of books about underwater animals. We have been reading about sharks, whales, dolphins, and manatees. The box also contained some coloring pages with markers and a trivia game. The same afternoon I filled out the paper for her teacher, Abigail came downstairs with the trivia game about whales and asked me to read her some of the questions.
The first question was: What is blubber?
Abby's response: "A thick blanket of fat that covers a whale and keeps it warm when it swims in cold water."
My jaw dropped just a little as Coley looked at me and said, "That's what the book said."
That is amazing! :)
