learning to read over here.
exciting business!!!
bat
cat
mat
pat
{grandpa was so excited that brennan can read his name}
sat
hat
fat
nat
{we didn't worry about the "g" there}
then he moved onto
pot
dot
then
mop
top
stop
at which point he told me he was done.
and that a 4 letter word was super great reading.
a BIG word.
so fun to watch him go.
and that darn letter C.
not even individual enough to make it's own sound.
i know, C, sometimes we all struggle with that.
but really, you have to borrow K and S?
at least X combines them both.
i'm having flashbacks of LIT1 in college with missy...
hardest class in my entire college career.
with the greatest teacher ever.
mr. allen.
it was just that it required 6 units of work,
but you only got 2 units of credit.
i still have nightmares that i have to take the LIT1 state exam again,
and i haven't studied for it.
that i have forgotten all of the material from when it took the class.
b/c i took it 8 years ago.
or something.
LIT 1.
traumatizing.
that's we what call that.
boy,
i'm sure glad i had to take it.
and boy,
i'm sure glad linsey's mom dropped off these cards to help me remember why i took it.
because there's nothing more amazing than watching your child learn to read.

There really is NOTHING more amazing than that light bulb turning on and kids realizing what things SAY. So excited for you!
