Okay, I know we are not supposed to brag....but I will just have to ask for forgiveness. Let me start at the beginning. When the school year first began, Kalyn was given some sort of reading test that placed her on a reading "level" so her teacher would know how well she was doing. Kalyn was at a 3.2 level, meaning that she could read and comprehend on a 3rd grade, 2nd month level and she is only in 2nd grade. We thought the score was wonderful. We were so proud of her. But here is even greater news. She was tested again before school let out for Christmas break and her score has improved. She is now reading on a 4th grade, 5th month level!!! We could not be prouder of her. She is so amazing!!
On another note--since we were so busy around Christmas time, Steven and I didn't have alot of time to spend with Kalyn, just us.We usually spend time with her making sure she knows the true meaning of Christmas. But this year, we just didn't have the time. So one night, right before Christmas, we were sitting on the couch together and I asked her if she knew what Christmas really meant. She explained the ENTIRE story to us. She never missed a beat, not one word, not one small detail. We sat in awe just listening to her. It was like she was really there, that first Christmas so long ago. She told every single detail. Her eyes would light up at certain parts. It was like she was teaching it to us. I don't think I will ever forget it.... Her telling us the true meaning of Christmas.
