Milestones--Installment #2

Micah is learning to read.
I wish I could remember what this feels like: All of a sudden, mysterious squiggles and lines create sounds and words and sentences and stories and meaning. It must be equivalent to learning Cyrillic or Chinese.
I love to see recognition and understanding flit across his face. I love to hear him chuckle when a story is funny. I love to hear him say, "Oh, I love this part."
The world is opening for him.
And he's ready.

  3. What a great day! When you can read, the whole world is available. My son told me my grandaughter has learned to read - she's almost 4. I can't wait to have her read me a story! Good for Michah!

  4. I love when they learn to read "real" books, they feel so big. All sorts of milestones at your house these days!

  5. I so get what you are saying about the "ahhah" moments of him learning to read! That is one of my favorite things about being a mom and my job at school!
