PROOF!

On Monday evening we finally got hard evidence that Andrew can read. I'm pretty sure people believe us that he can read, but now we have it on video. In the past, any time we wanted to prove it, he'd be reading and getting every word right (whether in a book or with flash cards) and as soon as we pull the video camera out - he quits cooperating. From that point on he'd get every word wrong. How does he know?! Anyway... we finally have proof at 15 months that he can read, although he has been reading for a long time already.
By the way - the video is over 9 minutes long, no need to watch the whole thing.
And.. just so you know, he appears to get elephant wrong because he was so busy telling me Dog. But he did get both of them right - he was just jumping the gun there.  


Wednesday afternoon I was giving Andrew a snack and also encouraging him to learn the sign for please. We use the word all the time, but forget to sign it consistently.  The sign for please is basically like drawing a circle on your chest with your fist (i think) and instead of drawing the circle on himself - he came close and made a circle on my chest when he wanted what I had! He is just too cute!

Here are some pictures of us reading with Andrew.

"Go, Dog. Go!" is one of his favorite books to read. (above)
