If there is one area in life where Veronica must stick to routine...it is reading. Veronica usually reads the same book or two for 3 months at a time. We try to suggest other books or sneak them in, but she generally always goes back to the same book. This entire winter, every time we read bedtime and naptime books, Veronica picked two books - My Best Friend is a Princess...a book with stories starring Cinderella, Ariel, and Jasmine, a birthday gift for Veronica from Auntie Mindy, Uncle Deej, and crew or a mini book of the Little Mermaid story. I have to say that for the first part of the summer she mixed it up and would pick different books, but now we're back on the routine. For the last 3 weeks, Veronica has wanted to read nothing but her llama books - Llama Llama Mad at Mama, Llama Llama Red Pajama, Llama Llama Misses Momma. Veronica also enjoys reading these books on her own as she has memorized several parts. She mimics the tone and voice inflections I use at certain parts perfectly! She also enjoys reenacting the llama stories while at play with Baries or her Doras...for example, she had her Barbie say to another Barbie, "What a tizzy, sometimes Momma's busy". There is a video on this post of her reading the llama books...it's a big long, but entertaining to watch:) Veronica is starting to make prayer requests of her own. Our family bedtime prayer is the Lord's Prayer. Since the end of May, Veronica has started saying the prayer along with us and I think she almost has it memorized. It's precious to hear your baby pray...I imagine it to be like the singing of an angels. After the Lords Prayer we usually pray blessings on family members and than Bryan, Isabella, and I will do individual prayers. Veronica has just started doing this...tonight her pray was, "Thank you God for the elephants, the elephants on my blankie and please heal my elephant, cause see, see Mommy (sitting up and pointing to the elephant on her blanket) my elephant has an owie right there. And God heal the owie on my finger, I got my owie with the soap, the soap at Target, see my owie is better, it's not there anymore, amen". I LOVE IT:)

Routine Reader and Elephant Prayers
