Sometimes she "reads" aloud, sometimes she reads silently to herself... but you are NEVER to read aloud when you are independent reading with Katie Anne- that is the ultimate in insulting to her, and it results in your book getting taken away and "Put Back!" Also, you must never close your book until she's done reading hers... you must keep flipping through pages, or else she will have to get up and help you open your book again in a very exasperated way. What a strict teacher she is! :) She also likes to independently read magazines while I read one... now I can get through a few pages of my latest People!
She will sit and independent read next to someone for a long time... five minutes at least, which is a long time in the world of a seventeen-month-old. It is very funny to us and cracks us up every time, but of course we don't let on to her that we find it funny because this is very serious to her. Here are some pictures of her reading with her daddy tonight.

** And are you wondering about Katie Anne's fashion choices? She's a toddler trendsetter... this look consists of one diaper (from a cheap generic box bought in an emergency moment that I'll be SO glad to see the last of) and a pair of her daddy's old athletic socks. She thinks the thigh-high legwarmer look is making a comeback this winter, and she wants credit for being the first to rock the look.
