So, we've called school for the week. This nasty cold just seems to be bouncing around all over the place. It still won't let go of me, which is just a touch annoying. Fortunately, I'm only nasally congested which is good since I'm supposed to sing at church this weekend.
Had a long day of work yesterday. I had honestly been looking forward to just coming home and relaxing, but we had some friends hijack us and I'm really glad that they did. They just came on over, made dinner, and we had a really nice relaxed time. I'm so thankful for friends that I can sit around in my pj's with and just be myself. Such a blessing.
Today was a bit busier than I had hoped too. I'm trying to rest as much as possible. I did some needed cleaning up around here, then Ezra and I went grocery shopping and then went down to the library. (Oddly enough we ran into Marketing-Camera lady while we were there again! This is really odd because this is the HUGE downtown branch and she wasn't with her camera today...) We got our books and headed over to the school to do story time after about an hour and a half.
The real big news to share tonight is that Ezra has started reading! Super excited about this! He's reading 3 to 5 letter words. Here's a short video (he struggles with the first word but picks up steam...I promise he hadn't tried these words before...we're not shady like that...)

I am sooo proud of my awesome grandson! It amazes me that a 3 1/2 year old can already read. But I also must say that I am also sooo proud of my amazing daughter! It is because of you taking the time even while sick, feeling like crap......looking like crap, taking the time and effort to teach in such a fun loving way. My pride has brought me to tears. Good job, Mommy and Ezra
