Learning To Read

What an exciting day we had yesterday! Dawson read a book all by himself for the very first time! I couldn't be more proud. He's had his share of struggles with learning the alphabet sounds. (being in speech since he was 2 years old and all). It hasn't come easy. But, he has worked so hard and has come so far!!! I know he is smart and can do anything he sets his mind to. I'm so excited for him and his personal victory that he had last night. I'm so glad that I could experience it with him and be a part of his life. I love you Dawson!

Yeah Dawson!!! I knew that you could do it. And I believe that you are very intelligent. I am so proud of you and I bet that soon no one would ever know that you had a speech problem. Love you lots and lots.

That is awesome Jaimie! He is getting so big, it seriously blows me away. For some reason whenever I think of Dawson I think of when you guys were up here and he just had gotten potty trained. He was running around my moms house in those cute little undies. I love him. I wish you could come out this fall. Fall in Utah always reminds me of you. I miss you.
