he reads! he. reads.
i am so proud.
last night, ben & i sat down to read before bed. we would read together. he would read the words he knew, i’d help him sound out new words, or i would read where he couldn’t.
but last night was different.
last night he read to me.
and not one book, but two.
i stopped benjamin mid-book for us, mostly for me, to process that he was reading. he was reading to me. he’s 5 1/2 and amazes me. seeing everything that he has worked so hard for and so much for during the school year {and it’s not even over} makes my heart skip a beat. the smile on his face and seeing my excitement for him is one that i will not forget.
our sunday night ended on such a high note that it carried over this morning. the first thing ben asked me when he woke up was if i was still proud of him. obviously, yes! he worked that high all morning. he picked out his clothes for the day, got everything ready for school & moved a little quicker than normal {we are typically slow movers in the morning}.
he felt good.
