C-A-T

Tonight, while I was preparing dinner August was playing with some refridgerator alphabet magnets. He was sounding out the letters and asked me how to spell cat. I asked him to sound it out. He then proceeded to sound out c-a-t and place the letters together! It was such a proud moment for both of us. The look on his face when he saw mine and vice versa! He spelled his first word and went on to spell n-a-p, c-o-t and d-o-g! What a glorious day for me and for August! He is getting closer and closer everyday to reading a book by himself! He reads signs everywhere and can sort our mail by family members names!

Hip, hip, hooray for August!
