Learning to Read

I have noticed that Quinn has started to recognize many words.  When we are in the car he often points out words.

He is getting pretty good at sounding out 3 letter words and also has a handful of site words that he knows.  Almost every day he will surprise me by reading a word.  

Last night I made a list of words to see which ones he could read or sound out.  You can see he\’s starting to get it.

Then he asked me to make another list of words for him.  He\’s very happy to do \’school\’ type stuff as long as you\’re doing it with him.    And he loves the checks and x\’s.  Alot of these 3 letter words he was able to sound out with a little bit of help.

I Pledge

Don had to travel this past weekend and arrived home before Quinn got home from school Monday.  Do you know what you get after Don\’s been away awhile and Quinn just gets home from school.  Lots and lots of Don/Quinn time (btw, he\’s no longer Papa but is now Don).   
Don and Quinn got on the school bus and then Quinn ran him through his full school day.  Here they are saying the pledge.  Next up, playground.  
We are happy to have our Don home before he heads out again tomorrow.
