R is for Reading

as you can see we have too many books. i guess this is a good problem to have and while Mayden's not exactly reading yet she is making major steps and getting very close to basic reading. i'm pretty sure she'll be reading easy books before she turns 5. is anyone surprised? no, didn't think so. she's been an overachiever ever since the day she was born!

right now she easily recognizes the word "No" when i'm reading to her. she'll jump ahead and say "No, what?" she's also able to spell her name, Elmo, mom, dad and knows most of the sounds each letter makes. i've been really enjoying reading with her before bed, it's amazing watching it all come together for her. she's getting so excited about it and so am i! i'm dreaming of car rides where she can just bring along a book and read to herself during the trip... silence!??!
