We had to go to the city today. Trent drove, I sat in the front, Myles and Asher in the middle, and Rourke and Janney at the back. Half way to the city, Rourke calls out to me;
"Mummy, Janney just read this button!"
What?
"She said Puh - Ruh- Eh-SSS - press"
I'm so glad I wasn't driving, I swelled up with emotional pride, my heart was pounding, the tears flowing, I had to breath into a tissue to re-compose myself and wipe my eyes.
Now I have been working with her for the last two-three weeks on how to put the sounds together. We've probably had 4-5 sessions of "sounding out words" but this is amazing - this is all on her own and she got it right. I'm so excited.. it was the little red button on the seatbelt that she read. May I remind you, she turned 4 early last month!
