Green Eggs and Ham

This year Savannah is learning how to read which is very exciting for all of us. She learned a bunch of sight words in preschool last year so the first batch of sight words she's been given in kindergarten has been review for her. We bought her some little readers and have been reading those but a few days ago she decided she wanted to tackle an actual book. She chose Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss and, despite a handful of words, she was able to read the whole book on her own. David and I were so impressed with her and I could tell she was very excited. One has to love those Dr. Seuss books...all the rhyming and sight words and short words that are easy to sound out. In honor of Savannah reading Green Eggs and Ham I made green eggs and ham for the kids' dinner last night. I abstained from the green eggs myself but Savannah and Xander gobbled theirs right up.

What a good idea to celebrate Savannah's accomplishment! I can't believe she's growing up so fast. Already reading! She's so smart!

Savannah is brillant! I might be a little biased! That is so cute about the green eggs and ham!

Savannah is my favorite little person.
