On the verge of reading

Claire has been able to identify her letters for months now, but I never realized how much she was taking in at school or while we worked on it. Last night, she and Jason were playing a game that came on a dvd about words and letter sounds, and she amazed us all with what she could do. The game would ask something like "What letter starts the word fan?" She would sit completely still for a couple of seconds, looking like she wasn't even paying attention, then announce, "F!" It was shocking. Mom and I just sat and watched her get letter after letter right--she never got one wrong!

Is it "my baby can read?"

Nope, just one of those LeapFrog movies. We have the BOB books that I'm going to start working on.

And the house hunting is coming along slowly. We're going out again this weekend to look at some-hopefully we'll find something good!
