update on Van

Van loves school and hates vacation days because he can't go (unlike Petey). At the beginning of the year, Van's teacher said that by the end of the year the kids will be reading. I could hardly believe that because Van just knew his ABC's, but sure enough Van already knows probably 20 words, if not more and he is always asking me what words start with and I tell him to sound it out.....and he always gets it right. Van likes transformers like Petey, but he is still really into animals and dinosaurs.
