little reader

our curious little four year old has taught himself to read.
all by himself. 
almost by accident.

 don't get me wrong, our bookshelves and library bag are chocked full of reading treasures.
books are a big deal in our home.
but it wasn't like we were trying to teach him to read.

 simply overhearing dining room table homework sessions and spelling test
 prep on the chalk board for big sister has given this boy of ours some serious
sound it out skillzz!

it seems like just yesterday, 

he was sleeping with thomas trains under your pillow 

and now it's his box of bob early reader books.

way to go buddy, we are so proud of you.
you amaze me - your love for learning inspires me - your determination motivates me.
happy reading bennett boy, happy reading!
