doing the happy dance
it would appear that I have a reader in my house! She ambled in to me at 10pm last night to read the first 2 pages of Bad Beginnings (Lemony Snicket) to me, then proceeded to read a fist full of Benny and Watch stories (short stories with lots of pictures based on the characters in the Boxcar Children books). But more importantly she now thinks that all the hard work was worth it because reading is really very good after all.
I have suspected something has been going on for a while as I keep finding easy reader type books in amongst the bed clothes but have just smirked and tidied them away knowing full well that this Little Madam does not let on she can do ANYTHING until she can really do it. I do love the way children do stuff in their own time!
Hurray! That’s excellent news.

Hurray!! Don’t you love those moments of realization that they have definitely passed another milestone in their development?
