Little milestones

The past (almost) six years have been filled with all sorts of milestones, first words, foods, steps, trips, birthdays, Christmases, everything.  Some of the firsts have been infamous... first trip to the ER, first ride down the stairs on the exercise ball, first barfing episode in public.  But Will's BEST first of 2012, besides heading off to Kindergarten, was getting his own library card right after Christmas.  He signed his own name and I'm delighted that this will be his signature on his library card until he's 16.  Or when he loses it, so we'll probably be getting another one within the year, if my track record is any indication.   We've been making weekly trips to the library and he picks out a few books that he's interested in.  This week's selection:  a dinosaur encyclopedia, Dragons! (actual title) and #3 in the Magic Tree House books.  He's not quite reading on his own yet but he's learning new words every day and getting oh so close.  I'm sure this card will help him get there even faster.
