Happy to brag

We haven't posted anything on here for a while which is a good thing because Granton has been doing very well.  This has not changed.  I just want to brag on him a little bit.  He does still get his IVIG once a week and he is getting more "brave" with the needle.  But I am not posting about his medical stuff.  This guy loves letters and books.  He knows all the sounds letters make and he can read some words.  We think this is pretty cool since he is only three, but we have not gotten too excited because all the words he reads are words that he has been taught.  He knows what sound the D makes and and what sound the A makes but people have shown him the word "DAD" so it is not that big a deal that he can read this word and others he has been taught.  Last week he went to Kansas with his mom and sister.  My sister caught him staring at her sweatshirt and making sounds:  "Gu...Gu... Gu...  AAAAA...  PPP...  Gu...AAAA....PPPP  GAP.  That says Gap!"  I think this is the first word he has sounded out and read without any coaching.  Smart little guy!  Also, this morning his sister was fussy and he gave her his teddy bear and sit with her in the recliner and put his arm around her.  It worked and she settled down.  He is such a blessing.  We can never thank everyone enough for all the prayers for all the times it looked like we were loosing him.  Thank You and God Bless.
