I didn't know she had it in her

I was getting ready to read a story to Faith before bed tonight. She picked out a story I've read a few times, but it's been over the course of the last year or so.

As I picked up the book & she got situated on my lap, she said, "I wanna do it, Daddy!"

Keep in mind, now: Faith can't read yet... So, I told her, "You go ahead, Sweetie, & I'll help you out if you get stuck." She got busy, telling the story (as she remembered it) as it unfolded in the pictures across the pages.

Her ability to tell the story absolutely floored me! If I didn't know that she wasn't reading the story, I wouldn't know that she wasn't reading the story! In many places, she told it word-for-word as it was written! I was so amazed at her recollection that I called Jen in to witness it.

Now, I know I'm a proud Daddy, but I was blown away! She has a real gift for telling a story...

& I didn't know she had it in her!
