niknotes:  The peanut brittle is IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!  
There was no peanut brittle, really.  I just have to keep saying that.
Yesterday, on the way home from Granny's, Jack read a Thomas the Tank Engine story aloud to Mick and me.  Mick sang a little and was reprimanded by Jack, who said, "I'm just waiting for you to be quiet."  Ha!  Sounds like a direct quote from school?  But the story had some really hard words in it, I thought.  I helped him with "determination," but then he got "foundations" on his own.  Of course "quay" was tricky, but after I told him, he pronounced it "key" the rest of the story.  Sixteen pages.  Half of them pictures, I guess, but lots of text.  "Obediently" and "tobogganed" were two words he attempted but ended up spelling out for me to tell him, but then he read "obedient" correctly later.  Oh, and he read that the rails "slopped" downward to the sea.  But, good guess, I say.  He even read the dialogue with feeling.  I bet watching the Thomas videos helped there, because the narrator speaks for the engines in their voices and then adds in his own, "... said Thomas dryly," for example.  At least in some stories.  And he even made up a tune for the two lines that "cheeky Percy away singing."  I'm just thrilled that he loves to read.  His parents certainly do.  Mick is still too quick to flip the pages for any actual reading, but he loves books.  So that's something.
