My sweet Smiles said this afternoon, "Mommy, when will you teach me to read?"  So, I finished the project I was working on, got Hugs started on his math, and sat for a cuddle with my Smiles for a lesson.  I purchased All About Spelling and got it this week, but haven't really had time to look at it and figure out how to use it with Smiles.  I was planning on not starting to teach him to read until January or so.  So, I grabbed 100EZ lessons and we whipped through about 3 lessons in 10-15 min. or so.  Then, he climbed down from the chair, happy as a lark!

The reality of the situation is that we'll progress at his calling at this point.  If he wants more tomorrow, great, but I'm not going to push it.  It is joyful, though, to see his desire to learn blossom!
