This is another souvenir of our shopping trip yesterday. Dennis picked out icing and sprinkles that had been marked down to $0.25 and $0.49 respectively and I grabbed a box of yellow cake mix while we were still at ALDI. Tonight we baked cupcakes together and Dennis told us he was a chef. He licked the beaters from the mixer (same beaters I licked as a child) and helped me frost and sprinkle the cupcakes. Eating them was his favorite part.
Dennis read an entire book by himself this weekend. It's a tiny book, the first in the first set of BOB books, but he read every word. We are so thrilled! He read most of the words in the second one, too, and I can't wait to watch him progress through the series. Books are his passion now, and he can sit through the longest stories now! Gran and Pop got library cards so that they can keep getting new books to read to him, and he was delighted with today's selections, a book about dirty feet and one called Night Lights. At home, he listens to as much Dr. Seuss as he can convince us to read to him and helps us read them by reading aloud the words he knows. Now how do I start teaching him math?
