Today we were getting ready to go out of town but prior to leaving I needed to do a few errands. As i was leaving daddy asked me "should I f-e-e-d them" spelling out the word feed. Colby responded with "he just asked if he should feed us". The looks on our faces was priceless!! I cannot believe we will have to start spelling backwards to keep him from knowing what we are talking about!
Then as we were eating lunch Scott and I were discussing what time we needed to be out the door. Scott said "2:00" and Colby looked at the clock and said "that is in 35 minutes".
So crazy how things just start to click in a kids mind. After a year of homeschooling I was getting a little worried that I had not done enough. It just takes time for each kid to finally "get it"!
I always marveled at the days my children learned to read. The transition to Evan reading to himself at night was bittersweet... Good thing there is another one on the way and years to come of bedtime stories, ABCs and 123s. But it is amazing how it all 'clicks' at some point. They are brilliant little people and it's such a joy to watch children evolve and grow. What a gift been given as mothers.
