I am trying, and so far failing, to write an essay about watching Ben start to read. Since he dictated such a lovely succinct essay the last time we talked about writing, I asked him what he would say about the subject. Here’s his response:

Ben is learning to read words. He’s so proud of himself. We’re proud too. Whenever we play Scrabble and Caroline plays a word, and tells me to read it, I always just read it!

I just have nothing to add to that.
