Lex can read!

The morning homework has been so GREAT, I can't even think of many more adjectives to describe it.  She is learning to read, wait! She is reading, it's wonderfu!.  After school and daycare, she is so resistant to "doing more" school work.  So...  I get up at 5:43 am (every frickin morning), pull the covers off the bed so she won't snuggle back up, throw the covers and blankets onto the rocking chair in the corner of the room., and on to next step.  I place her backpack on the bed with my pick of clothes for the day.  No saying if she'll go along with my choice or not.  Then I get two dollar bills for lunch money and a Chocolate Brownie Cliff Bar and put them on her backpack.  I pick her homework out of her backpack and arrange it on the bed.  I get her favorite homework pen, place it on her homework and go outside to play on the computer and wait until she wakes up.  I go back in in 15 minutes, and she's discovered there's no blankets and is squirming around.  I kiss her forehead, and she says, "I have to go to the bathroom."   I get my own self dressed and ready, and when I'm done, she's awake.  Giggly morning girl.  There is no order to the rest of the morning.  She does her math with her favorite pen.  I come in and check her work and sign off on it.  We banter about everything.  She feeds her two fish.  She puts her clothes on....slowly while watching morning show on Discovery Kids, and I come in and check on her every 5-10 minutes.  She practices for her Friday spelling test, I sit on the bed with her and we read her reading assignment, well, she reads it anyway.  We go through the words she's learning on flash cards, and then she just giggles, giggles, giggles!  By now she's mostly dressed, put the two dollars in her pocket (gets upset with me when I pick an outfit without pockets!), put her snack in her backpack, put her jacket, socks, and shoes on. Then she washes her face and takes her vitamins after much protest.  Brushes her own hair.  It's Euphoric!
