My Baby can R-E-A-D!

I am so excited!

I’m in my car on my way home from picking my sons up from school when I hear sounds coming from the back seat. I raise my eyebrow and turn down the radio.

“G-g-Gus is a d-du-duck. G-g-Gus h-has a di- bi-bill.”

I freeze.

What is he doing?

I adjust the rearview mirror so that I can see him better. He has a little pamphlet in his hand. And he has it open and, hold up, my 4 year-old IS READING!!!!!

I slam on the breaks and scream!

He stops and looks up at me confused.

MY BABY IS READING! MY BABY IS READING! I sing to him.

He smiles and continues.

When we reach home I jump out of the car and sit in the backseat with him and his brother, and listen carefully as he pronounces each syllable which becomes words, which when said one after another, become SENTENCES.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

I unbuckle the seat belt and pick him up and swing him around. He laughs and blushes as I kiss him all over his head and his face.

I am so PROUD…

The school is doing a great job because I tried to help him and I have ZERO patience whenit comes to teaching. I don’t see how teachers do it. I don’t see how parents can homeschool. That is definately not my gifting but those who can do it, GOD BLESS YOU!

He really loves to write. My baby will sit and copy the words on just about anything he can find. From junk mail to magazines to the back of the cereal box, he loves to write it ALL! He loves to color and is getting to be quite good at it.

Look

Wow. From such a tiny little thing to a big boy. He is growing so fast and he is so sweet. He always listens to his Mommy. He wants to please his Mommy. He takes great care of his brother though they wrestle a lot (What is up with that? I NEVER let him watch wrestling or aggressive TV but all he wants to do is play fight. Must be a guy thing)

He is so precious. He is all mine and I am so proud of my baby…

Who knows, he may want to be a writer when he grows up.

Yay!
