It's a miracle!

Jared asked to write a letter to the neighbor girl for her birthday. Jared, who is barely willing (entirely ABLE, but barely WILLING) to write just his name, asked to write a letter. He dictated what it should say and we told him letter by letter what to write, and he wrote it. I had to scan it and keep a copy, because this was a first! (how cute is this??)


This is big news, people!!

PS He's also started sounding out small words he sees here and there, so we've started working on the list of 100 words Emily got in Kindergarten by making flashcards and introducing 10 at a time. He's almost got 20 words under his belt now (as in, he can read them without having to sound out each letter and then blending them into a word), but can sound out many more words. I can't wait until he starts writing things down phonetically! He's just turning into such a big boy!
