We have a lot of roadwork around our
house. Shovel-ready projects abound!! It has become a game for
the kids to point out and read the road work signs. Lex
surprised me one day by reading a sign for the other lane.
Apparently he can turn his head around enough in his carseat to
see signs that we passed. Yesterday he surprised me again by
reading a sign in reverse. We were approaching a sign for the
other side of the road, but it was a fabric sign instead of a
metal sign and you could see the letters from our side, but
they were reverse. Make sense? It said “One Lane Road Ahead”
and he read it backwards through the fabric sign. I guess if
you can read you can read, but it still surprises me :) This
morning they were both crying and I asked them to read books in
their room while I got dressed. I returned a minute later to
find them sitting together in the big chair, him reading to her
and her resting her head on his shoulder! Despite all of their
craziness, they are so amazing and sweet.
