I hope you have a great time, Lexine.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm getting the pig!
I want to start a countdown to March 18th. Is it too early for that?
And again I say, HELL no! I've already started this countdown on my work calendar.
This is how I justify not participating/commenting on every subject that comes up.
This. Between work and life, I just can't seem to keep up.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Between work and life, I just can't seem to keep up.
That is why I don't even bother trying to catch up when I fall behind in Natter.

Lee - my daughter has been counting down to her 15th b-day since the New Year (her b-day is 3/27 - on Easter this year)...you can count down to March 18th!

Christopher has been serving as my birthday counter-downer all week. He just walked up and said, "Mommy, tomorrow is your last day of 37! Then the next day, you're going to be 38."
Thanks for the update, kid. Of course he can read, so he's reading most of this as I type.

The status is NOT quo.
vw, just so we're clear, I was just responding to your question. I wasn't upset or offended. No worries. I say vent away.

Cindy - how old is he. My son is 8 and has finally gone from struggling at reading to reading just about everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. It is a bit nerve wracking.
eta - and HAPPY PRE-BIRTHDAY!

It must be nerve wracking, but how great that he loves it, when he had to struggle for it! What a kid!
Chris will be 5 in about two months. He's still in pre-school. I mentioned in Natter earlier, we caught him reading the TiVo manual. I make sure to hide the top of my window when I'm in this thread, so he isn't saying "Bit-ches"
My older son learned in first grade. My kindergarten daughter is powerfully jealous of her little brother reading before her. It's just him. He knows numbers up to I don't know what. He's a little scary.

CJ figured out math fairly quickly and has been able to pick out words, carefully sounding them out, for a long time...but it has just been within the last 6-8 months that it has come easily. His teacher calls it his fluency rate. He is good at decoding, just not quickly.

YAY for your boy, lexine. It means so much to them once they start to feel comfortable doing it.
Reading really is a miracle, isn't it? It's just an incredible thing. Spoken language is incredible enough. Someone(s) thought up these sounds to communicate ideas. But then reading? Someone(s) thought up these symbols to communicate sounds, which communicate ideas, and you can decode them, and use the code yourself.
