Tonight, as we sat upstairs in her bed, Ngnat read her first story.
Look, Dick.
Look, look.
Oh, oh.
Look Dick.
Oh, oh.
See, Dick
Oh, See Dick.
“See” gave her some trouble at first, but she sounded it out each time until she got it. “Ssss-eee. See. See!”
After a couple more times through, Ngnat took Dick and Jane downstairs and read it to her mother, pointing at each word–with kind of a grubby index finger, I noted–as she carefully enunciated it.
When she finished, SW burst into tears. Then we all went and washed our hands.
