I just love these little 'Sight Word Reader' books we got Nathan. He and Laura love the stories and Nathan is actually able to READ. I just kept wondering when this would happen. He has known all of his letters and sounds for quite some time and he even knows many words 'by sight'. He has been able to read some stories by memory but the time has come to call my son an actual READER.I have so enjoyed watching the world just open up to him. He gets this sly little grin on his face and I love hearing "Mom, that says ..." He just looks like he has opened up a special secret gift or something. He has even been reading to Laura at night for bedtime stories. I am so proud of how he is opening up and learning and growing and it is bittersweet because my little boy is no longer there. He is up on his way and it is moments like these that I need to appreciate how happy he is to grow up and then I don't have to be so sad about losing my little boy to a little man.
