Annie's Book of Rhymes

Here is Annie working hard on her self-titled book called "Annie's Book of Rhymes." (Yes, I plan to do both an alphabet book and an opposite book with Annie this summer, . . . but this child has SUCH a love of rhyming words, that we just HAD to make this book!) Annie couldn't wait to start this project and (due to the intensity of it and due to the fact that Mamma decided to make there be two rhymes on most pages) it is still a work in progress. I had to laugh when I read the description at the end of Leia's alphabet book that "she got a bit tired of it at the end, but was VERY proud of it." Yeah, it's the same here. : ) It's actually a totally different process than the other two books (alphabet = taking pictures of items, opposites = finding magazine photos to cut). Whenever Annie thinks of a rhyme, I write it on our "rhyming list" and then whenever we have time to work on the book, we head to the computer to find images of the word. Annie picks the one she wants, we print it out, she cuts it, she colors it, she glues it, I write the rhyming words. It's a labor of love! Annie's very favorite rhyme?!? (The one we included last, but actually did first?!?) "Mamma! Honey rhymes with bunny!" Oh, and how Annie loved that picture of that bunny! : ) Annie would finish the book on June 2, . . . and happily show off her newest petshops as a reward! : )
