Style and reading

It's been a little while, but Moses said to me that he thinks I should go shopping and buy some new clothes because mine are getting old and stained. I sometimes wonder where he gets it, and then I remember that so much of his family is artistic. Uncle David is even a fashion designer. Of course he notices things like this!

Moses started kindergarten a couple of weeks ago, and he is doing great. Ms. McMillon is so sweet and she told us how bright and eager Moses is. He gets along with everyone and always makes her laugh. She said she would encourage us to work on his letter sounds (that he only knows about 2/3 really well). I'm super impressed that she knows that, right? 

During parent night, she told us about how they will learn narrative style, opinion style, and instruction style writing this year. And that one of the goals is proper punctuation. And you know what I was thinking? Mind. Blown. My baby is going to know what "punctuation" means, and how to use it. 

I'd been wondering when it would click for him that when we read books together, the words we say are connected to the words he sees on the page. Well, i noticed him doing that tonight for the first time ever! It was pretty exciting! It's happening!!
