All the books and reading IS really making an impact...
Being a teacher's kid, Avery's going to have some high expectations set for her, both by Jed and I and just about everyone else. I'm on a mission to make her a reader, as my observation has been that too many kids hate to read. We'll see whether or not I'm successful.
Anyway, tonight, as I read Zoom to her, we got to about the middle of the book, to the page that says "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" and instead of me taking my finger and reading the long, drawn out word, Avery did it for me! I was shocked! Right as I turned to the page, she said "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and it was long and drawn out, just like I always do it.
Not totally convinced this was on purpose, of course you know I HAD to read her the same book 3 more times, and each time, she said "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh" at the appropriate time. I must admit it made me a little teary-eyed. Yay!
