Memorizing

Our Princess memorized her first poem. I decided that since it would be her first, I wanted it to be a positive experience. So I let her pick it out. It was 7 letters long...seriously. Well, she had it memorized in 5 minutes! And she enjoyed it so much, the next poem she memorized had 17 words, and she had it memorized in about 20 min. I bribed her with her new poem, hoping that a longer poem would be worth a video game or the new Beauty and the Beast DVD. I get to pick this one out, so it will be substantial. Or at least worth $20 in prizes ;0)
