Oh exciting things are happening in this house of ours — Sammy is starting to read. As a teacher, I just love this stage of child development. He knows all his sounds and blends and he is starting to sound out words all on his own. He is so excited about it, he is ready…

Breathtaking Winter Books All Kids Should Hear

December 7, 2016 by Sarah 2 Comments
