Don't Doubt A First Grader!

I had just finished reading a great book, and told Todd that I needed another one. I asked him if we could stop by Books A Million on our way back from getting a bite to eat. Well I knew it was coming. A little voice said, "Momma can I get a book too?" Lizzie is my little "Mini Me" when it comes to reading. I LOVE to read and I am so glad she does too.

Well we get to BAM and Lizzie starts looking in the "Beginner" books and the "Level 1" books, but she didn't see anything that fits her fancy. So she walks over to the Junie B. Jones books and goes on and on about how the teachers at school are reading these books to them and she likes them. I proceeded to tell her that I think these books might be a little hard to read right now.

I should have never said that!! There was a lady and her younger child standing beside us, so I guess Lizzie thought she needed to show me up right there in front of everybody and she did. She opened the book up after reading the title and started reading the first page. Before she was finished I said, "Ok you made your point. Is that the book you want?" The lady beside us laughed, and we left with the Junie B. Jones book. She is on Chapter 6 of 10!
