Way to go, Cooper!!!

Cooper hit a huge milestone this afternoon! He read a book completely unassisted. This is a huge accomplishment for him. He has struggled with reading since it was introduced in Kindergarten. I gave him several Step into Reading books for Christmas and his Birthday. He has been working on them. He's very proud to have moved on from Step 1 to Step 2 books. Bolt was one of the books he was really struggling with. I told him if he mastered the book, and if he read it to us we would reward him with the movie.
Well, I'm proud to say he did that this afternoon!!! We celebrated with his favorite cake, carrot cake, and are going to be going out to rent the movie as soon as Olivia gets up from her nap.

None of the rental places had it available (we went to 5 redboxes and 2 blockbusters), thankfully it was on sale at Target (and in stock)!
