Christmas Eve was a very big day at our house! There are the obvious reasons, of course, but it was also the first time that Julia picked a book (Max's Chocolate Chicken by Rosemary Wells) off her bookshelf and read the whole thing all by herself!!
She was in her room for quiet time when all of sudden she came bursting into my room so excited to share her accomplishment! It was a fantastic moment and I could not have been prouder of her. It's an amazing feeling to see her finally realize that she can do it and to take the initiative and start to read on her own!
She amazed me even more and showed me that her confidence is really growing when she brought the book to Grandpa Rick and Grandma Lesley's that night and read it aloud to everyone (probably 15 people!). Way to go, Julia!!
