"You are amazing"

This is what Dakota said tonite & I dont think I could have come up with a more fitting statement.

Three - four months ago I made him some cards with differant words on them. They had dissapeared one day & when we traded in our Suburban last month we found them under his carseat. I was busy & tossed them in a bin in the house & forgot about them untill I came across them the other day.

So tonite I sat down to rock & read to him & picked them up to look at with him instead of a book. All five of the other dc were with Daddy & it was just him & I, no one interrupting for anything.  He has not seen these cards in probably close to 2.5 months. I started reading them to him & then all of a sudden he started to read them to me. He read each color card to me & about half of the others. What he didnt read he said the letters for & then copied me after I read it. He even copied his siblings names & I dont think I have ever heard him say any of them except his oldest brothers.  After every 2-3 cards he would say "Good job!" or "Great!" & when we finished the stack he said "You are amazing!".  I couldnt agree more, he is amazing.

It is amazing what they are picking up even when we think they aren't. Our little guy is doing well. Still struggling with some reading, and yet he can memorize entire books. I love the butterfly quote, it is so true. Each one flies in his own way, but beautifully!
