He Read to Me

We received a set of BOB Books a few years ago, handed down from a cousin whose son is about 3 years older than Mister J. I found a second set this week at my church's consignment sale (and a third and a fourth, but I didn't get to them fast enough!), which I gave to Mister J this evening. I told him he could pick out two of them to read at bedtime. He was very excited about getting two stories! I left him to finish getting ready for bed while I read to Miss M and got her settled in for the night.

When I was heading back to Mister J's room, I was reflecting on some of the things I'd seen him try to read today. I decided to see if he could read the BOB Books. Y'all, he read them BOTH!

He needed a little help with words containing a short 'i' sound, but otherwise he was on his own. Wow! He was so proud of himself, and I was so proud of him, too!

Terrific!! Isn't that just really cool!?

BTW, Ryan Leigh, just wanted you to know how much I appreciated what you said in Sun. school this morning about the "Incredibles" movie experience. The way I see it, that's an example of being 'sensitive' to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Beautiful, wonderful! Thank you for being willing to share!
