This morning Mr. TBaM was playing Letterpress on his phone when The Boy leant over his shoulder and read out 'MAT'. Surprised, Mr. TBaM typed a few more words along these lines (simple CVC words) and The Boy sounded them all out and read them. All of a sudden, it was like the tools for reading we're just there and understood.

We're amazed. And proud. Very proud.

This is the first time I've actually asked The Boy to paint something specific rather than let him paint randomly (or exploring brushstrokes as I probably should refer to it!). I said to him, "Could you paint mummy a garden please?" and this was the end result without any prompting!

I particularly love the blades of grass with mud underneath, and the 'petals' on the sun.
