Now everyone is crying upstairs. God love my dh but he has the post bath parenting skills of a tomato.
Wow! Deja vous. I have wet kids running circles around me right now because their father can't see to find pajamas.
My DD3 doesn't really know the whole alphabet either (I don't think). But she has a bunch of sight words and has pieced together some shorter books. And DS7 did not "read" until kindy and now has overtaken his entire class in reading. There were lots of readers in his kindergarten class. He was approaching the top of his class by mid year. But for him, I really think it was he just didn't want to read until he hit about 3rd grade level. And he never said "I can read" until he could read where he wanted to read. We read much more involved stories when he was pre-school age - james and the giant peach, etc etc etc.
