if you give molly a book, she'll want to imitate the characters!

molly's graduated from the library board books (which i think we've read everyone like 5 times) and moved on to paper pages. i was a little leery at first, hoping i didn't have to start paying to repair torn pages and such but she's done great. there's so much more variety too! curious george is one of molly's favorites. she loves to see him get in trouble and waves her finger at him and says "no, no, no". so cute! among her other favorites are if you give...books. it seems that a lot of these books involve food and so molly likes to be like the characters and either eat or make the food. our first adventure came after reading if you give a pig a pancake. molly loved this book (probably her favorite out of all of them) and so we had pancakes for breakfast one day. molly's had pancakes before but they were much more fun when she was like the pig. curious george also helped make pancakes with blueberries so the other day we made some blueberry pancakes. molly was in charge of the blueberries. she had fun dropping a handful of blueberries on the pancakes! last week we checked out the book if you give a cat a cupcake and so tonight we made cupcakes. well, i made them and then molly put the sprinkles on like the cat did. she had so much fun and paused every so often to give her fingers a good lick since there were a number of sprinkles stuck to her hand! of course she ate one too! and then asked for another...needless to say, she didn't get it! :)
