Took DS4 skiing, at the end of the day on the way back, I told him I needed him to help me find the cabriolet. He pointed and said, it's the one with the word "cabriolet" on it. He was right, and I was happy to hear him admit he was reading.

I know he can read but he has been pretending he can't lately. Weird/sad when your kid who has been picking up books and reading them for ages starts pretending they can't read. Combination of not wanting to grow up and realizing through exposure to other kids that not all 4 year-olds can read and not wanting negative attention. (Thanks parent of peer for calling him a freak in a nasty voice. :-/ Parent rant: why on earth would a parent think that's ok?)
