But, today I'm going to be THAT MOM. You know, the one that obnoxiously brags on her children? If that offends you, you may want to skip this post because I can't help myself today. This blog is first and foremost a family scrapbook, so I have to post it. I am so proud of my kids!
I want so badly to figure out how to post a video for proof, but fear my computer would give up for good if I push my limits (it's still not 100%). O has been like a sponge lately and is fascinated with learning the sounds of letters and how they spell a word.
Last night Eric, E and I had the best time teaching her how to spell. I would call out a word (BAG, DOG, GOD, FIT, POT and so on) and using her wood puzzle, she would sound it out on her own and put the correct letters together to form the word.
She did it every. single. time. to 40+ words.
So great for three years old!
Then, I would put words on the puzzle and she would read them. We were obnoxiously cheering over every single word and had the best time. Before we knew it, we had surpassed bedtime and it was 9:30. Yikes! Before we ended, Eric put the word BEST on the puzzle and she sounded it out correctly. Melts my heart. I love to see my girls learn something for the first time.
As we were tucking her into bed, Eric said, "O when you learn to read your whole world will change for the better". She giggled and said, "I know! The whole world will be mine!"
Yes, it will baby. Yes, it will.
I'm so proud of you, O!

How precious that was. O spelling and reading she is growning up to fast. I remember not too long ago we wondered if this day would come.
That is so awesome!!!!
My oldest and youngest children were early readers, but my middle daughter struggled to "get it" for a little longer. (Surprisingly though she is my BEST reader now!)
Anyway, when she finally got the hang of reading, she said in the van one day, "Mom, the world is like a GIANT storybook!" Her eyes were as wide as saucers and her grin was ear to ear.
So sweet!
Having kids that love to read is a HUGE blessing!
WOW! That is awesome! Go O!
And the things your girls say are priceless! =)
I have been contemplating buying that "Your Baby can read" thing just so I can see if it works.....=)
Awww!! I love it!! My K has been doing very well too. I love when he can read most of a story. Can they have a reading date??? lol Maybe we need to change that to a "reading time"..... Enjoy your time with her & E..... I look at our girls and I can't believe how quickly they have grown. It seems like I have missed out somewhere.
"The world will be mine"... how adorable is that!!!
Such a smart little one!
What a cool puzzle! Do you get a lot of things from Lakeshore?!?! Thanks for posting this adorable story! Go, O!!!
Wow! That is so awesome. Especially for 3!!!
You should be a proud momma. There is no shame in being proud of our kids.
Awesome! And I love that puzzle too - where did you get it??
That is amazing! She is precious. You should be bragging on her!
