Free Range Chicken

Today was one of those magical days.

One of those days when you notice something in your child change, something so small that only a mama would notice. One of those days when you realize your little one took a step, a HUGE step but the change was so subtle. Today Chantala read her book with out pointing at the words. When she points to the words she reads each         word        with       a      pause      after. Today while she read she didn't point, and the words flowed together. She actually read a story. I didn't prompt the change, nor did she notice anything different after the story had finished, although I did. She is growing, and learning, this wonderful, strong minded, free-spirited girl just changed slightly before my eyes. And I noticed.
