According to my west coast brother, today is "Yodel for Your Neighbors Day." While I have never been able to yodel, I do feel like standing on my balcony and yodeling for all my neighbors (if it wasn't so cold and if I didn't fear alienating everyone in the building) because I have something to celebrate. Today the little first grader whom I have been tutoring since the beginning of the school year actually read a book to me. Granted, it was a small, kindergarten level book with simple words, but he was putting together letter sounds to make words and sight reading some words like 'the' and 'see.' I'm not taking the credit for this since I only see him one hour a week but I am so pleased that what he's been learning in class plus what he and I work on is starting to come together. I have high hopes for this little guy. Yodelodelodelodelo.....
