Yesterday John went from reading as a chore to "I love reading!"
He has a series of small books (10 pages or so with just four words on each page) called "Bob Books." (Not Bob the Builder). We have been forcing him to read those to us occasionally during our nightly reading sessions, which he did begrudgingly. But last night he started reading them on his own, and he enjoyed it a lot more! Now he is blazing through the books, and tonight he read "Hop on Pop" to Christopher.
Hurray!

That's fantastic! Isn't it strange how things like that just happen?!
That is so awesome! i've heard it's like a light switch turning on and often happens around 5 1/2. i've been waiting for naomi's light to go on!
what a cool moment for john!! and for you to see!
I'd never heard about the light switch simile. I didn't realize it would be so sudden!
