Today Jonathan started reading books for the first time. He learned a lot of words during Kindergarten, but was never really interested in trying to read books. But today, he got excited about it. With my help he read two chapters in the Little Bear book. I am so thrilled for him. A whole new world will open up for him when he can read books on his own. We love books in our family. We have about 7 bookshelves full (plus other books laying around on tables and counters). Katie is an avid "reader" too. She could have us read stories to her all day if we were up for it. She sits by herself and reads out loud with all of her books, making up stories as she goes. It is so cute to listen to. I guess reading is in our blood!
