He's um . . . reading?

E has always loved to tear apart the pie cabinet in the corner of our kitchen. It's filled with all the school supplies and learning games. Now since I cleaned it H and E both have their own shelf, a shelf for games, and a shelf for the coloring/cutting supplies.

The door was swung wide open as E was pilfering through games and H's eye was attracted to the beginning reader books on his shelf. We've barely cracked these open, I guess I figured we'd spend time on them next school year for kindergarten. He strolled over to the shelf, pulled a set of Brand New Readers off the shelf and casually said "I guess I'd better get started on these Mom." I didn't give it much more than a passing thought until I heard him over on the steps sounding out the words. . . ahh . . okay. I decided to go check things out. He proceeded to read through two books! Okay, yes I helped him a bit, especially since we haven't really practiced the long sound for vowels, etc. But he knew the "sh" sound and a few other word combinations that surprised me - way to go Word World! Now I know we have a long ways to go on this, but it is so much fun to have him be so excited about reading and trying to do it all on his own.
