Xander's been sick for the last few days with a fever, sore throat, and cold symptoms, and that rash he gets all over his body with a fever. He has to miss school for at least a couple of days. I had to coach his first soccer practice without him.
When he's not in pain or itching, he's in good spirits, though. Last night after bedtime I caught him reading out loud from Hop On Pop. That book has lots of sight words as well as words that he can sound out. He's been read that book since almost birth and knows what it says. So he was able to sound out words and then adjust them to what he knew the word said, but he did all this slowly using the sound-it-out method first. Finally he noticed I was standing behind him.
"I know how to read this book," he said. It was a moment of wonder.
