A new milestone...

I feel like I'm posting to myself lately, but I'm happy to be keeping up with it. :)



Sydney came to me the other day and said "Mommy, I can read!" She's been trying lately and is really into it. She works really hard to sound out words and won't ask for help unless she gets stuck.

So she showed me the book she was talking about "Jog, Frog, Jog". It's a Step 1 reader book and perfect for her. And I'll be darned if she didn't sit down and read the whole book. And honestly, it wasn't from memorization because she stumbled and had to sound some words out. The only word she needed help with was "around"! I was SO proud of her and made a really big deal about it. She's doing so well and we couldn't be happier!


She wanted to show her Daddy that she could do it so I quick snapped a couple pics!!























She's funny - she tries to read everything she sees. This morning at breakfast she said "Mommy, this says 'Organic Lowfat Milk'!!" And it did!! :)



Way to go Sydney Bean - you'll be a reading whiz before you know it!!! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!!!! :)

You aren't posting to yourself :) I am reading every day even if I dont comment. Between homeschooling, being sick and church things have been crazy. Specially since we just got a 6th member to our house just like Cheyenne... well a black lab ;)

WTG SYDNEY!!! :)

Hello Vicki,
Thanks so much for visiting my blog - your daughter praying for us brought such a sense of joy to me (and Kurt, too)... so humbling that God is causing others to love us when they haven't even met us. Thank you for your tears of joy - and to reiterate - I don't think you're a stalker! (chuckle)
Hugs for you and yours,
kendall from canada
