Go, Dog. Go!

Thomas read his first book to me tonight. He didn’t tire until page 51!
He has been obsessed with words lately: how they are spelled, how they sound. A couple weeks ago, I caught him explaining something to Judson’s mom that she couldn’t hear. I can’t remember the exact word, but it was similar to this:
Mama: A cap?
Thomas: No, cart.
Mama: A cat?
Thomas: A cart, with an ‘r’.


Yes, he read the first 51 of the 64 pages of Go, Dog. Go! to Veronica and myself tonight. He only needed help about 10% of the time.
A third of the way through, he asked what exclamation points were for. After that, he read it with quite a bit of expression.
 

I had to fight back the tears. My Baby Boy.

Tonight’s Prayer

Veronica decided to say tonight’s prayer, in a free form manner. This is approximately, what she said for us tonight…

God is gracious, God is good
And we thank Him.
Angel of God, my guardian.
Julianne & David thank you for Daddy being home.
Angel of God and to the Republic for which our nation
Bless us and raindrops on red roses.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
