Chocolate Swirls

(Jenn) As you may know, Henry loves library books! He especially loves them when he has read them enough times to recite his favorite words from them. Usually it's just the important words at the end of each sentence ("Left foot, left foot, left foot, right. Feet in the morning, feet at . . . NIGHT!"). Today he shocked me while we were reading Curious George Goes to a Chocolate Factory (a real winner). The book shows how to identify each kind of chocolate by the swirls on top of them. Today, Henry piped in and recited all 7 different kinds of chocolate (fudge, caramel, marshmallow, truffle, nougat, orange fluff, and "George's favorite: banana cream"). I never realized he was listening so closely, or that he could say the words "nougat" and "truffle." I guess he pays attention when it comes to candy (I'm teaching him well)!
