Natalie is progressing wonderfully with her reading this year! I was really worried at the end of last year because her teacher didn't put much emphasis on it at all! At the same age, Ethan was reading more than she was. I know you shouldn't compare...but its hard when you have certain expectations for your kids! Anyway...her teacher this year is fabulous! And Natalie is picking it up so quickly! She has actually gone from one of the kids that was struggling at the beginning of the year to one of the better readers in the class! I'm so proud of my kids! Not only that, but Ethan is a great big brother! He listens to her read and "gently" helps her with words she doesn't know. I see him helping her the way I helped him, and it warms my heart! (Every now and then seeing that your doing a good job as a parent is extremely reassuring!!!)
Notice Ethan mouthing the word "here" as she's trying to sound it out!
The other night when she was reading "Green Eggs and Ham," I took several videos. They are a little dark...but you get the idea! And I know there are a lot of them...you really don't have to watch them all...I'm just very proud of my baby girl!!!

Ugh She can have a little attitude!!! ;-)
He looks a little bored...but he is learning patience!!! I love how she gets excited when she knows whats going to come next!
"I would not eat in the dark at all!"
Natalie's expression is cute...then she shoves Maggie!!! What a booger!
This is my favorite part of the story!
A sweet ending...
