At eight years old, my son Conrad has never been an independent reader. He has always enjoyed being read to. In fact, we read to him every night. But, he has never taken the initiative to read on his own without us prompting it.
So, you can imagine my surprise when I picked Conrad up from his after school program, and saw him sitting quietly at a table reading. Without me even knowing it, Conrad had read 62 pages in a school library book that he had just gotten yesterday!
He was most eager to share his reading pleasure with his Mimi when we stopped tonight for a visit. Below is a picture of the two of them enjoying Conrad's library book. I think this is what mom means when she talks about dancing in the rain.
