Tuesday night I was reading a short picture story to Danny from his Sesame Street Magazine. Bert brought home a kitty to spend the evening with him and

Ernie. In one photo Ernie is feeding a bowl of milk to the kitten. I read the caption that said how much the kitty liked the milk. In the background was a box of “CAT FOOD”.

I asked Danny if he could read the first word. He named the letters then sounded them out. “CAT!” I was impressed. I then asked him if he could read the second word. He named the letters again and tried sounding it out. “Fuhd,” he tried. Then “FOOD!”

What does the box say? I asked him.

“CAT FOOD!” he announced.

Danny reads his first sentence. We were both very proud.
