jack and jill

saturday we took amy to the local library. since she gets to mess with shelves of books and play with tons of puzzles there, she enjoys it a lot.
this time, as usual, she just paced up and down in front of the board book shelf, and picked out all the blue ones, pretending that she can read. i watched her as she flipped through all the blue books, proudly announcing, "THE END!", feeling so proud that i am raising such a little geek.
then she did the geek-est thing. she suddenly picked one book which is not blue, yes, NON-BLUE BOOK! and run towards me. she stuffed the book in my hands and demanded me to read it to her. in the whole process, she kept yelling stuff.since she always talks to herself, i didn't really pay attention to the words coming out of her mouth. just as i looked down to the book, i suddenly realized she was actually yelling JACK AND JILL! JACK AND JILL! which is exactly the title of the book. my goodness! my almost-2-year-old can read. :D
of course i know she might have just remembered the book from her day care. but i still wanted to test her out. so i let her pick another book and asked her what it is. this time she only told me, BLUE~ i guess i was just having too high expectation for this little dork.
