Almost Ready

Nicholas is getting thisclose to learning how to read. He's been playing with my new iPad, and using several kids' apps that work on phonics (he loves them, I swear). And tonight in the bath he requested his "bath letters," basically a bunch of foam letters that when wet stick to the side of the tub. He always spells his name first, but tonight we tried a few animals to see how he'd do. Nt quite there, but really really close. He even got "zebra" with some help. He could say what sound each letter makes, and just needs help to put the whole thing together.
