Sob!

Today my son read his first word. All by himself. Using fridge magnets. Munching on toast. He said the sound of each letter then blended it perfectly. This is so not a Waldorf moment, but I jumped around the kitchen and yelped "you've read your first word - you've read your first word". And he had. And the silly big grin on his face knew he had. And now he must stop because I don't want to teach him yet. But what can I do? He's blending like a blending machine... on a blending spree... Oh well. Go with it then or wait???

they are very tuned to what we expect, etc etc etc
even if they don't play to it in those crushingly embarrassing moments when you *want* them to.
