Yesterday, Little Buddy came to me and said, “I want to go to my room to read my Bible.” He recently learned how to sound out three-letter words, so I was thrilled to see him so excited about reading (and about the Bible).
He grabbed a pocket-sized Bible that he calls his and headed to his room. He sat on his bed, opened the Bible, and tried to read it as best he could. After a few minutes, he sat back, folded his hands, and prayed.
It’s hard to know exactly what was going on in Little Buddy’s head, and I doubt he has a full understanding of God and prayer, but there is nothing so encouraging to see his child-like faith.

That’s great he can read 3 letter words ! When does he turn 5? What did y’all use to teach writing ? I am using all about reading right now with my 6 year old but slowly started it at 5 (we were busy with our preemie twins in the nicu )
She enjoys it but some lessons are longer so we make some 2 days .

Hi Tiffany! He turns 5 in about 9 months. For writing, I’m just using a book from Amazon (My First Learn to Write Workbook by Crystal Radke). How are your twins doing?

They are doing good. They will be 1 this summer . They are doing good for their adjusted age , but aren’t sitting up like a baby would be with their actual age in months . They are gaining weight good . I am having to do mostly formula and I pump too but don’t get enough . The couple of months they were in the nicu were the hardest for sure . I can’t believe they will be a year old soon .

Thanks for the update! I’m glad to hear they’re doing well. I’m sure those NICU days were so hard. My 2nd was late sitting too, and he just started walking.
