Phin's First Book

Mom and Dad say that I've been able to sight read a lot of words for a while now (at least a couple of years).  Sure, the first words I ever learned to recognize were 'car' 'truck' and 'no' - all for good reasons (I love cars and trucks).  But, until this past week I've never shown interest in reading.  Usually, I just say no (which, as discussed, I know how to read).

As part of her regular visits to the library, Mom picked up a couple of books about a little dog and a big dog.  With some initial assistance to reassure me, I have read them both - all of the words!  You can see me reading in the car to Mom, Dad & Amelia.

Mom and Dad (and Amelia) were very proud and I really enjoyed reading.
I must say that sometimes letters construct the weirdest words.  Example: Why is the word 'are' not just spelled 'r' - it would make reading so much easier!

But, don't make a big deal about reading to me - I don't love the attention (like when I wrote my name)

Peace out,
Phin
