Memorization

I put Emmett down to sleep a little early last night, so he wasn't as sleepy as usual (I left with music playing for him). A minute or so later when I was in the living room, I heard him loudly reciting the beginning of one of his favorite books. He continued until the song changed and the next track was a chant, which stopped him.

It's become clear when reading to him that Emmett has large portions of many books memorized. He can do Molly's Monsters (a counting book with quite a lot of text) and Bear Stays Up For Christmas nearly from start to finish.
