On to another topic, here is a picture of Elisabeth reading to Charlie. They LOVE to read books, and we read LOTS every day. We have a big basket of childrens books that we keep in our living room and rotate with the many other books that we have downstairs in the 'library'.
And of course all this reading is bound to increase her reading and writing skills. Here is one of her latest writings. At the top she wrote her name, 'Elisabeth Drothy SMS', of course that's not how we really spell her name, but she did pretty good for sounding it out alone. And then she wrote a few short words like cat, set, bill, etc. and surrounded them with lots of other random letters. She has her own journal that she likes to write in when she sees me writing in mine or when she sees me taking notes from a book or doing any other kind of writing.
