We tend to have sentimental feelings for all "firsts" in our lives. I'm having those feelings now, while Caleb learns to read. My kids lives are growing so fast. I think I still treat Caleb like he's 2, sometimes because he acts it. In any way he is growing and I didn't think he'd respond to reading so well.
When I watch his face after he reads a word it's a priceless moment.
I'm also thankful that I get to be a part of his learning like this. Today, I feel a sincere testimony that homeschooling is right for our family.
