Milestones. Accomplishments kids reach when it's developmentally appropriate (and they are darn well ready.) Some milestones pass by without a thought. Some arrive with a huge collective sigh of relief from both mom and dad. We have reached two of those at our house. First milestone reached: Cam likes to go to school. Yeah, I know it sounds silly but when you have gone through a whole year of anti-school behavior, it feels really good to be done with that. He not only likes to go to preschool, he likes to go to our ECFE class. All together now... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Second milestone: Kyle can read. He could read a little bit last year but what a difference the summer has made. I confess we didn't read a lot, certainly not every day, but we did read. Now, he reads to us. It is such a huge relief when that lightbulb goes on and your child can make sense of all those letters on the page. Woohoo!
It's official, I have three dunkers. That's right, they all like to dunk their cookies. My mom invited us over to make oatmeal chocolate cookies after school. How do you say no to that? Of course we went. It was a dunking good time.
