Early reader!

Most of you know that I read with Talent all the time. We read during the day. We read at least four or five books before bed each night. We read short books, long books, Bible stories, and silly books. My best friend sent us books a while back about trucks and super heroes. He loves those. 

For Halloween my other best friend, Talent's Aunt Boo, bought him books since he can't have all the goodies all the other kids can. One of the books was called, "Hug" by Jez Alborough. It is a very easy read. Very few words. It's about a monkey named Bobo who sees all of the other animals in the jungle hugging and he wants a hug but can't find his Mommy. An elephant helps him find his Mommy and he ends up getting his hug. 

We have been reading this book for the last couple of nights. Tonight Talent read the book to me! He knew when to say "hug" and when to say "Mommy" and "Bobo" and I didn't have to prompt him to do it! He even wanted to come read it to his Daddy! I'm sure this is more from memory than actually reading it but still, it is exciting. It shows that reading with him is a great thing!  It is paying off in a big way! 

I love seeing him make all of this progress! I love watching him try new things...especially reading! So to say that I am a proud Momma tonight would be an understatement! I am beyond excited for him to have read this book to me tonight! He's a smarty. Seth and I are so lucky!
