What a guy!

We've got an early...as in it's a bit premature to call him a...reader!  I've been doing about 2 weeks of lessons from a popular homeschool textbook, and he has read on his own now:  seed, sam, rat, me, see, am, eat, ram, sat and seat!  It's very fun to watch him figure things out.  He was really into it at first, but quickly lost motivation, so I taped a reward chart to the wall for every week of lessons that he completes...it was magic and now he asks to do it.  His choice of reward this week was a 'cat craft' (which I hurriedly fashioned out of sticky foam as fast as he could assemble it...he thought it was great, luckily ;), and I got him an EXTRA prize for the first week (because I was out and saw cowboy boot slippers at old navy for a few bucks and couldn't pass them up).  He was a little excited :)

Yay, Owen!!  So proud of him!
