Congratulations!
Remember, read to him every night at bedtime. Nothing makes someone feel safe and loved and warm like a bedtime story.
A love of reading - I swear. This is the best gift any parent can give their child.
My mother taught me to read by the time I was four. Grimm's Fairy Tales. She read that book to me a bunch of times, and then had me start reading it back to her. She rewarded me each time with a roll of Life Savers that came in containers that looked like cardboard books. Anyone remember those?
By the time I hit elementary school, I was reading three books a week. Novels. I was reading college-level books by the time I was 12.
Thanks, Mom!
