The sorta sticky thing is that we did help him a little. We had Bob books around, and let him play on Starfall and watch World World, and sat down and helped him with an early reader occasionally. So I can't say---gee, no idea how he cracked the code! On the other hand, it was hardly a concerted effort. So I guess I can say, oh, we had some stuff around the house, if people ask. But then you get into that thing where people say, well, we have that stuff and MY kid can't read!

This is one of those awkward little developmental moments, I guess. Parents do focus on when they talk and when they read. Just looking for a line, if you will.
