The fox is in the box

"The Fox is in the Box,", is the sentence our awesome ("possum") child read last night off of a sight word practice worksheet while riding in the car to Walmart! We couldn't believe our ears/eyes! She is reading! Ella can read. She can read sentences with the sight words she's learned so far, and per my previous post/entry, there are lots of them... . We got so excited and wanted to reward her (not only for this huge milestone but also for being a good little girl throughout the week) so we let her pick a toy. Boy oh boy, does she take her time?!!!! She changed her mind so many times.. I think we were in the toy isles for over half an hour but I don't blame her with so many choices it is hard to make up one's mind. Finally, with some "help" from daddy, she picked a Ford Truck with a Horse Trailer so she can carry her horses around. We usually don't buy a lot of toys for her, only on special occasions, such as birthdays and other milestones (like this one :-))  Really proud of you, baby! Now on to making cards for Teacher's appreciation week coming up...
