Ruff, The Dog Who Loved Pancakes
We had pancakes for breakfast this morning. While we ate, AJ told me a story about a dog who loved pancakes.
It was so detailed and she told it so smoothly and with such excellent syntax and transitions that I thought maybe she'd read it somewhere. But, no, she said, she was just making it up as she went along.
"Once there was a dog named Ruff, who really loved pancakes. Every day he would go searching for pancakes. He would look and look until he saw someone with a pancake, and then he would JUMP UP and try to get it. And whenever he tried to get a pancake, he got it. He really loved to eat pancakes.
One day Ruff was walking down Maple Street looking for a pancake. Suddenly, he looked up and saw two girls talking to a pancake seller . . . "
I got her to tell the story into my phone for Blogger, but the second telling missed out on a lot of the best parts. She got a bit flustered talking into the phone, too.
Still, I think it's a great little story. Hearing her tell it is very cute.
Another tidbit: Yesterday AJ said to me, "Mommy, it really makes me feel wonderful when you smile at me."

Precious!
I love the bonus quote. That is such a wonderful compliment.
Thanks, CCW. Yes, that made my day when AJ told me that it makes her feel good when I smile at her. It reminded me of a scnene from one of the All-Of-A-Kind-Family books, too.
