Xander read his first word tonight. We were writing words on the shower wall as we often do in the evenings. I decided to put up a word he’d not asked for, so I wrote “HUG” on the wall. Then I pointed at each of the letters and he made the sound for them. Then he cried out, “Hug!” I just looked at him stunned for a moment or two, and then said, “Yes!”
Then I put up a bunch of other three letter words for him to try, and he got almost all of them right. So Xander is now reading. We’re all very proud. Xander is proud of himself also, and well he should be.
