Becca (4th birthday not until September) phonetically sounded out the following words this afternoon: Hat Dog At Cat Go Foot Meet He Me
There's no stopping a boulder from rolling down a mountain...
On a funny note, Sally* came home all smiles from school today saying, "I think Johnny* likes me!" I asked why, and she said at recess they were playing a game and every time they were running next to each other he would slow down so that he wouldn't pass her. Then later in the day they were playing wall ball and every time he got the ball he would give it to her and let her have a turn. I said, "Well, that's nice of him. But maybe, could he just be acting like good friend instead of acting like that because he has a crush on you? Which would you prefer?" She looked at me with the exasperated eyes of an 8 year old with a dumb mom, and said, "The second one!" Then I asked, "But wait. I thought last week you said you had a crush on Jimmy* and that you thought Jimmy* liked you?" She replied, "Oh, he was just my backup."
*Names changed to protect the embarrassed.

so funny...that's awesome that you kids feel comfortable talking to you about their crushes...i NEVER did that! what have you done with Rebecca to get her reading like that? any books or strategies...or, oh wait, it's just those brilliant genes you passed on!
Becky - no particular book or strategy. I read a lot, and I read stories to my kids. The rest is all them.
See? EVERYONE needs a back-up... :)
