Shepard's learning to read!

Shepard read his very first words today!  I wish you could have seen the excitement...  he was exuberant!  Watching his humongous smile was all the reward this teacher/ mom could ever want...  but he gives more.  He gives hugs and high fives and little whoops of joy, too.  Yeah, kindergarten!  (Handwriting... oh boy...  this is gonna take some patience! :) )  But, Shepard's delight was definitely one of the highlights of a very busy day.
