Christmas ABC Book

Last Christmas, our neighbor Susan gave Jillian a gift ... a big Christmas ABC Book made of cloth. This Christmas season, it's one of her favorite books to read. We've been reading it to her most nights, saying "A ... angel, B ... bear, C ... candy", etcetera. The other night, Mommy decided to just say the letters, and then we found out that Jillian knew almost all the words in the book. The most surprising part was that she even knew words like "or-ment" (ornament), "ice skates", "underwear" and "violin". The only word she couldn't quite get was "nativity".

P.S. (12/09/09) Apparently, Jillian doesn't even need the book to repeat all of the ABC words. If we're in the car, or anywhere else without the book, and we say the alphabet, Jillian will follow each letter with the Christmas word from the book.
