Often my daughter will fill in new details based on illustrations or tell me I skipped a page and delve into a new story. Also, this practice has given Merrick an appreciation for books and excitement to read on her own.

My mother, son's Nana, lives a couple of states away and we talk with her on the phone every night. Nicholas, my son, has started to describe his days to her in minute detail, and has started telling her stories. He turned three last weekend, and on the way home from his birthday party, he picked up his toy phone and "talked" with Nana about his party and all his presents. We also do a lot of story-telling around characters he already loves (Wilbur from Charlotte's Web, Lightening McQueen, Nemo, etc.). Sherry Great post!
