Parker is Literate


WOW, look where we are. This is crazy he is reading. Parker has really put his all in to first grade. He has a bit of an issue with "silliness" in class, but when it comes to math and reading he is doing so well. Tonight when we were doing our weekly reader, that helps with fluency, I realized HOLY CRAP Parker is reading. I don't know why it took me so long to have that realization, but it just hit me. He has been learning how to read and NOW he is actually reading. It is amazing this process of having children. I know it is often said, but time REALLY does pass so quickly and watching this fact proven with your children's growth is scary yet inspiring. I don 't feel as if I am reliving my youth through them as much as I am becoming a stronger adult. They have had such a hand in who I have become and is that good or bad? The jury is still out, but I hope it's pretty ok.
