Thanks for the advice. Yes, it could be that he's just frustrated that it takes a while to learn to read. He doesn't like to have to work at anything because he thinks that he should just be good at something as soon as he tries it. He was like that about learning to swim and ride his bike, too. I just find it peculiar that he could have us read books to him all day and yet, he isn't motivated to learn to read so that he could do it by himself.

He has such an intense personality that it's sometimes hard to know what might be a real issue and what might be some idea that he's gotten into his head... smile
