This blog is not just a source of momentary amusement to myself and to any of you who actually read it, but is also an informal (and spotty) record of the kid’s progress and stories.\u00c2\u00a0 I try to make sure that I give equal time to everyone because while Cael’s eating habits could fill pages here, that’s not necessarily fair to Jordy who I am just as proud of for being a good friend to Nikki and I, a good room-mate, and who is turning into a very nice young woman.\u00c2\u00a0 Tonight I just can’t obey that rule, however.<\/p>\n
I’m just too proud of my son Quinn, who will be turning 5 in May.\u00c2\u00a0 We have long been doing story times of course, and working on letters and their sounds and the like.\u00c2\u00a0 Yesterday he had some sort of epiphany because he decided it was time he read a book, which he proceeded to do, sounding out each word with very little help.\u00c2\u00a0 He did this for Nikki, and then repeated the feat on another book for both of us later.\u00c2\u00a0 He had never seen either of these books before, so it wasn’t a memory thing.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m blown away by it all, there was very little threshold for him, one day he couldn’t read, and the next day he could.
\nSo needless to say we are as proud as can be and are trying not to be insufferably so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
