Chicka chicka boom boom

So, yesterday at pre-school, Danny finished his work and was allowed to go pick out a book to look at. He picked the book, Chicka chicka boom boom, which we read at home all the time! He loves the book and we say it in a real rhythmic way with some singing interspersed every once in a while. He pretty much has the whole thing memorized and says it along with me at home. So, yesterday, he picked the book and started "reading" it aloud. Well, Mrs. Kellar said that he "read" the whole thing to the class (rhythmically and with the singing) and everyone kind of stopped what they were doing and listened to him. She said she's never had a kid do that before. I think this is hysterical.

He's definitely our son...loves to be the center of attention (like Daddy) and in full-blown teacher mode (like Mommy). I'm so proud. I really am. I can't stop smiling when I think of it.

What a smart kid. You have every right to be really proud. The sweetest thing is that he read it at first, probably not even meaning for anyone else to hear him - he was just doing what he enjoyed and then it took off. Neat.
