movie stars like Ada

Every night we read three books to Ada.

Fancy Nancy
Purplicious and
The Little Engine that Could

In that order. If we deviate we ruin the whole night.

Fancy Nancy has to go first because this is the book that Ada gets involved in the most. First she likes to repeat most of the lines, especially the fancy lines. But by far her most favorite line is when Fancy Nancy's family arrives at the Kings' Crown (if you don't know what the King's Crown is you obviously don't have a Fancy Nancy fan in your house). The line goes something like, "When we arrive at the King's Crown everyone must think we are movie stars". One of the thousands of times I read this line I must have said something like, "Look they have sunglasses on like Ada." Which she immediately heard as, "Look they are movie stars like Ada." So now, when we read that line she stands up, (even though she was just under the covers) puts her arms straight out, and does a slow shimmy as she says, "Movie stars like Ada."

And as if that wasn't cute enough she follows it up with a giant smile to say Yes, I am cute and I know it! Watch OUT!
