Those are other books that I made that you can get

Not only is Annabel getting close to reading, but she is also writing. And not just writing her ABCs, as you might expect, but writing complete books.

I wasn't around for the first one, but Kristin says that Annabel came to her and asked for several pieces of paper. She went off and drew pictures on each of the pieces and then she back and said that she had made a book and wanted Kristin to help her put it together. She narrated the words she wanted written on each page and then she punched a hole in the corner and tied it to together with a ribbon.



The back cover is the funniest part. It has 6 little squares on it. Kristin asked her what they were and she said:

"Those are other books that I made that you can get".

She's already learned cross-promotion. I'm so proud.

Since then, she's made several books. I've helped her with a few of them and I can testify that she is very precise about what she wants written. She narrates the text word for word.
