Reid can read!

Right after Christmas break, Reid's teacher said to me that she thought he could read more than he was leading us to believe based on some observations she had made at school.  He had started showing more interest in learning to read at the beginning of the school year, but was always afraid to try in front of us because he's a perfectionist.  Mumsie is a reading specialist and working in small reading groups was always one of my very favorite parts of teaching, so we were both very eager to work with him! :) After his teacher told me that she thought he could read, I was finally able to convince him to sit down with me and try.  Well, in typical Reid fashion, he just started reading like it was no big deal.  Silly boy!  I have to say, this milestone has been one of my VERY favorites.  It's just amazing to see a whole new world open up to your child through reading!
