Last weekend Elizabeth buddy Kylie had her 5th birthday party. And much to Elizabeth's delight, she held the party at Fairyland. Elizabeth is now quite enamored of fairies. She and Kylie are reading a whole series of fairy books and it is so cute to hear them talk about all the adventures they are reading about. And the neat thing is that these are "chapter books". Just lots of type and a few drawings here and there.

Oh yes, did I tell you Elizabeth is reading. Yep, that twice a week tutoring and preschool classes are doing the trick. While she is not reading the chapter books on her own yet, she is reading the little beginning readers. Woo hoo! You go girl!
