A Real Reader, Reads

Reading, teacher style

We have been meaning to report that one morning last week, something happened like it weren't no thing, like it was an every day thing.  But really, it was the first time it happened, so it was kind of a big deal: Joe read to Clara.  !!!!!  No one asked him to read to her so it was sort of even more of a trip to notice them sitting on the couch, Joe with on of his pre-reader books open, at first, teacher style (i.e. facing out, upside down for him), and Clara sitting attentively beside him.  Later he turned the book back so it faced him.  It's kinda hard to read the words upside down, especially probably when you've just learned how to read.  He was reading the books we have hat Aunt Kate turned us on to that come in packs of four and are about a worm, a monkey, or a pig and his dad.  (There packs that feature other animals we think, but those are the animals in the packs we have.)  This week, he read to her from his Cars readers.  Holy bonkers, Fans.  Holy bonkers!  He's like a real-real READER!--!!!!!
