Proud Mommy Moment

You'll have to excuse my proud mommy moment, but lately they have been scarce so I am excited. After another horrid attempt at church (ugh!) I was putting Carter down for his nap and had snagged The Cat in the Hat from Davey's room. Books just seem to linger in one room or the other so I try to rotate them from time to time. Anyway, the moral to that story was Carter has not been read the Cat in the Hat. Since he knows all the letters and sounds in the title I decided to see if he could read it. He sounded out ccccc aaaaa tttt and then did it faster and then stopped like he had a light bulb moment and said, cat. Yeah! He read his first word. Lowell didn't believe me so Carter proceeded to read Hat for him. Today at nap he read Big, Bat, and Man. He only knows the upper case letters right now and only one sound for each letter but it's a start. He's pretty pleased with himself also. Just goes to show they may have behavior problems, but they aren't dumb. I can't wait to tell their preschool teacher when I pick up my refund . . .
