Malachi Did It!

We are just about finished reading this book:


Inspired by the chapter in which Laura and Mary go to town and dress in their bonnets, Karis models her bonnet:

Yesterday Malachi read his first words and even spelled "cat" by sounding it out.  I wanted to take a picture of the word and he wanted to add the words "Malachi did it" (so he sounded those out too).  He is not angry in this picture, he is cheering himself in the manner of a "rock star"...

 AND today, he read his first book!
He just had to read it to Karis and Asher too:

It has been an exciting couple days for us... weeks of letter-sound drills have finally paid off!
