Fancy Nancyby Jane O'Connor
Illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser
I have to admit I became of fan of these books way before Cate could even show interest. After having a boy and reading about trains and trucks and all things boy, I was so excited to build a library of girly books for our new daughter! A friend told me about this book and I went right out and got it. I read it to myself and fell in love with Nancy. Now, several years later, I have enjoyed sharing the stories with Cate. She loves to dress up just like Nancy does! In fact, for Christmas, Cate received a Fancy Nancy doll and dress up clothes from Santa Claus.
Two nights ago was her first night in her big girl bed and she chose this book out of her book bin and I was so excited that she chose this one for bedtime. It was also especially neat because for the first time, she actually sat still and listened to every page instead of grabbing the book out of my hands and turning the pages too soon.
These books have fun, girly, fancy language that is just too cute. So, far we have the whole collection. There are a few that will be published later this year! If you have girly girls, these are a must have in my opinion!

Big fan of Fancy Nancy too - have you seen all the stuff at Target? I'm glad you're joining the Where's Mom challenge. I don't like being in front of the camera but I don't want to kids to be asking where I was during their childhood. Great capture of her first night in her big girl bed.
Glad you joined the challenge! Looks like your little girl is growing up, but now you have that memory captured for a lifetime. Fun first photo.
What wonderful pictures of you reading to your little girl. Precious memories for a lifetime. Her new room/bed is so cute. So glad you joined the challenge!
What lovely photos! They tugged on my gramma heart strings. You are really going to value these challenge photos in years to come. I'm already looking forward to seeing your post next week.

Ok, I am not a fan...but that is ok...because I love ANY BOOK that kids like to read just so long as they are reading!!!!
My niece just loves Fancy Nancy and even had her b-day party so themed! Maybe one day I'll get to read these books to a little girl of my own.
Very special! I love those books too!
