Small Blessings

Raine has continued with her reading lessons. Today, she read the word "colgate". I removed the 'e' and then had her read 'col gat' and then I explained about the Magic E and what it did to make a long "e" sound. She then read the word "sunspun" from my salsa container. Perhaps by the end of summer she will be reading easy readers!


Briton decided he liked Didi's hat. Didi means 'girl' to Briton.



This kind lady that runs the resort we are at has given each of the children rides on her golf cart.


She had the children come up to the house for a Sunday tradition. She gives the kids either a candy bag (jelly beans) or an icecream! The kids thought that was wonderful.


Then after that, Dave came and gave Briton a ride on his ATV. They say they are really enjoying the children. They can't believe how much they smile and how happy they always are.

I love that moment when children realize "Hey, I can read!!!" It opens up such a lot of doors. Well done, Raine!
