After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, his glasses finally came in. He looks so adorable in them. It's taken him a bit longer to get used to them, but it is going well. He is obsessed with reading the Magic treehouse books right now. I am trying to keep up with his library requests for them. I try and check 4 or 5 of these short chapter books out for him every few days.
Also, today Luke took a the DIBELS state reading test. It's a test that all 2nd grade kids take. I decided it would be good for my kids to experience tests this year and it was his first time ever taking one. He did it online so I was able to eavesdrop on the other side of the office door while he was doing it. His teacher told him that he was a "reading genius". I was inwardly so grateful. I have been quite discourage with school this past semester and her words were a reminder that I am a worthwhile teacher. I think Luke is reading near a 4th grade level because he and Peter are both reading the same "school reading book" right now. His love for stories makes me so happy. At night I am reading them the Sassafras twins book about Botony and Brandon is reading us Book #1 of the Rangers Apprentice. I hope family book reading time will always be a treasured memory for both my boys.
