Buzz

The scene: Bedtime.  Mummy and Lauren are snuggled up in the reading nook; Lauren is wearing her watermelon pajamas with the lifesaver-striped shorts. Mummy is reading the book "Little Bea" to Lauren. The page has the large word "Bzzzzzz" across it.

Lauren: Mummy, what does that say?

Mummy: You tell me. What's this letter?

L: B!

Mummy: What sound does B make?

L: Buh.

Mummy: What letter is this?

L: Z for Zachary and zebra!

Mummy: What sound does z make?

L: zzzzzz

Mummy (pointing at each letter): So read the letters...

L: Buzzzzzz!

She read her first word! And she recognized it on other pages too. What a fitting first word to read. We are very proud of our little bee-lover.
