She had taken ALL of the books off her bookshelf. Two minutes later she had also removed the shelves. She didn't get reprimanded much because she was "reading." Just look at her cute finger pointing to the words.
A few days ago Ariel wanted a popsicle for no good reason and so I told her that she could have one after she read a book, which she promptly did (Is that bribing or rewarding good behavior or coercion? Whatever it is it works for me.). Then I noticed that Annika was also "reading" a book, following the words with her finger and turning the pages muttering under her breath the whole time. When she was finished she said, "Now I get popsicle, I read book." I let her have one despite Ariel's protests that she didn't really read the book. Usually she gets treats for going potty. I winked at Ariel and said, "That is how 2 year-olds read." She just rolled her eyes and giggled.

Oh my gosh, I love that girl! What a funny story! How is the potty training going this time around? I still giggle when I think of her running out of the bathroom at Heidi's house and yelling, "I went poopy in the potty!" That was also the day she went to the bathroom and I didn't take her pants all the way off and thus the pee sprayed all over the room. Good potty times. :)
Look at those concepts of print at 2! We get kindergarteners who don't get the left to right concept or one-to-one matching.
(and spell checker doesn't think "kindergarteners" is a word, either).
Almost every morning when I go to get the girls Campbell has taken all of the books off the shelf. She also has to have at least one book in bed with her to "read" until she falls asleep. I love the wink and explanation for Ariel;)
