May 15, 2004--The cuteness of Jay

Jay is reading so well now! I'm so proud of him. He's finished his Professor Phonics course and can now read out loud to his sisters (when he's not busy tormenting them). He recently checked out some nature books from the library. He loves telling me facts that he read in that book. He asked me if I could read one chapter for him, though, because he said he couldn't figure it out by himself. I said sure, bring it here. The "chapter" he wanted me to read to him was the glossary!

On the front of one of the books is a photo of a flying squirrel. He asked me if they really exist, and I told him they did. He asked me if anyone has every actually seen one, and I said, "well, the guy who took the picture saw one, didn't he?" I don't think Jay had thought about that before. What a fascinating idea that a real person with a camera took picture of all the lions and the cheetahs and the sharks, as well! What a scary job that must be!
