kindergarten boy

So Jack has been sounding out words left and right and recognizing a growing number of sight words. And he has been voluntarily (voluntarily! for fun!) writing and illustrating his own stories. This from the boy who a few months ago would cry when I asked him to sign his name on a friend's birthday card. From the boy who brought home maybe 3 drawings over the course of 2 years of preschool. I don't remember such a sudden flip the switch moment with Emma. She's my slow and steady girl. But it's pretty crazy to watch. Now if only Jack has an emotional development flip the switch moment... I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way though.
