The good news - right before it went up in smoke (figuratively) I was able to get a video of Henry and his new skills: sounding out words. He is REALLY into the sounds that letters make and has been attempting to do some early reading. He has a little trouble with the fact that you are supposed to read from left to right, but other than that he is pretty good when he sets his mind to it. I still don't think he has had that lightbulb "aha!" moment where he truly gets that all those things he sees around him are words, made up of letters that he can sound out and understand, but he is doing the first steps. It is fun to see! (No, he was not bitten by a vampire - he had a run in with some shelves):
And, we had a beautiful full moon tonight that Henry gazed at for a long time. The camera did not do it justice in any way (I am not that sad to be getting a new one), but it is still pretty cool:
