Last night, Becca read a book to me (Level A) that I brought home from school. She had memorized it quite some time ago, but last night I taught her to point to each word as she read. She did it accurately! At one point, she read 'birthday' instead of 'party'. I taught her that the word couldn't be birthday because it started with a 'p'.
Fast forward to this morning. Becca picked up the same book (which starts "Here is..."). She couldn't remember how it started. Within a split second she made the first sound of the word 'here' and figured it out! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! My big girls is READING! :o)

I'm It!
I'm it! B tagged me with a meme of trios.
Three things that scare me:
1. heights
2. Haley's (new) heart murmur
3. I've been lucky for so long in my life. I've never lost anyone particularly close to me. I'm afraid of when my luck runs out...
Three people who make me laugh:
1. Ronnie
2. B
3. Ellen DeGeneres
Three things I love:
1. rollercoasters
2. the smell of freshly cut grass
3. watching my girls play together (especially dancing)
Three things I hate:
1. pettiness
2. my insecurities
3. stuffing
Three things I don't understand:
1. reality t.v. :o)
2. money
3. cruelty
Three things on my desk: (Oh God!)
1. unread magazines
2. unsigned wills
3. lots of things to do
Three things I'm doing right now:

Three things you should never listen to:
