Little Guy and I have been reading a chapter or two in Charlotte's Web every night before bed. Tonight our conversation was so sweet:
Little Guy: Mama, Why is Charlotte going to help Wilbur?
Me: Why do you think?
Little Guy: umm...because they are friends?!
Me: Yes. How do you think Charlotte will help Wilbur?
Little Guy: I know! He could hide in a hole!
Me: Would the hole be in the barn or outside of the barn?
Little Guy: It would be outside the barn. Then when Mr. Zuckman (Zuckerman) is done looking for him, Wilbur could come out of the hole.
Me: Where would Wilbur go after he climbs out of the hole?
Little Guy: He would go back and wait with Charlotte.
Me: What would they be waiting for?
Little Guy: They would wait for Mrs. Zuckman (Zuckerman) to look for Wilbur...and then Wilbur would go back into his hole again.
Me: Wow! That is so creative...should we keep reading and see what happens?
Little Guy: YES!
I love reading together with the kids. They have the best imaginations!

How adorable! I love hearing how kids respond to treasured books for the first time... Love it!
That is sweet - I don't get to read with Mandy much anymore :( I should probably make her read those chapter books to me!
