Today was the seasonal clean out the closet and drawers day to replace summer with winter clothes. Martin and Linda found a “Dick and Jane” book in Martin’s room and all of his letter sounding at school finally clicked as he began reading today! Some people vividly remember the day they first cracked the code.

I will remember the gusto upon which Martin read:

Look, Jane, Look.
See Baby
Oh, oh, oh.
Funny, funny Baby.

He is very enthusiastic and brings life to the rather bland words on the page.
