More on reading

Todd is continuing to read while in LA. Oma's also working on his handwriting, as it's pretty messy, still.

He's gotten into the habit now of reading quietly to himself in bed while Oma showered. The book? A children's Bible. But not the preschool Bible that he used to read. This one is a book with much smaller print encompassing larger pages, and with fewer pictures between each chapter. It's a book meant for kids around 8 years old or so.

"I'm five and a half!"
