Miracles
I just sat here for 20 minutes watching my son sound out "freeonlinegames.com".
He's learning to read and write. He's such a smart kid, and I have been waiting for this for years. It's one of those little explosions of joy that come from parenthood and watching your kids grow. It makes me feel all giddy and silly inside- seeing him try and work so hard.
Even TV is a world of new things for us, as when we see words on the screen he can sound out and pick out quite a few- assuming they are on the screen long enough. Then he says "Fun with dog doesn't make sense"- so I explain that it said "Come out and have fun with your dog."
Wow, this is all I wanted for Christmas- Santa can cancel that pony order for me.
Of course- now he has to use his kid browser, "Bumpercar" to surf, and never our computer anymore- lest he misspells something and ends up on some donkey-screwing, sexual freaks of nature porn site, and starts asking questions about THOSE words.

Congrats... what a gift for you to get to see these special moments! My 3 year old daughter Emma is just starting to learn the sounds letters make on her Leap Pad. I know just what you mean about how wonderful it makes you feel to see your child succeed.
