Wow. That was just about all we could say. Wow.

If you're not a Lily-head, you should be. Check out Lily's Purple Plastic Purse and Julius, The Baby of the World. Excellent.

So, the reason we could only say Wow is that DD read to us tonight from a regular library book, not a reader, not some level-1, painstakingly selected by me book, but a real, regular book. Her reading was so smooth; it was unbelievable. Further proof that backing off was a good thing for our homeschooling. When I tell people that her reading improved once I stopped "teaching" her, they laugh, but it's so true. I was really killing her spirit. I'm going to try to remember this as we homeschool this year and beyond. Anyone interested in betting how long I can remember?

Also, she wowed us by asking her Dad if the moon was a crescent or a half. What in the world??? We are the luckiest parents in the world.
