And we have a READER on our hands!

I can't believe this, but dear little Layla started to read today during her "reading nap". Very apropo, I suppose, but also unexpected (= Mom and Dad have been here the last three weeks and as usual, mom was V.E.R.Y. patient with her and along with some help from Tom, Layla has started to read!

I would give the starting point as today because she read a whole book by herself on her own initiative! She asked for help with a few words and while I usually wouldn't talk with her during her reading nap, I couldn't resist helping her get the few words that were tripping her up.
