This moment brought to you by a Teacher

A huge highlight of our week ....StoryTime with Winston.

Winston had an early release day from school on Wednesday. We had made arrangements for him to visit his old 4 year old preschool class (now Lilly's class) and read a story to the class. His teacher, Mrs Shabeldeen loved the idea and was so excited to have Winston come back for such a special visit.

Winston was very excited- he picked out a special book at the library last weekend and practiced reading it to us all week. He was very intent on reading the book and showing the pictures and wanted it to be perfect. Perfect it was!!

When I went to wake him up Wednesday morning for school; instead of the usual moans and groans about waking up so early - he bounded out of bed and told me he would get dressed first thing so he could practice his book while he ate breakfast. He wanted to be ready for his reading debut.

We arrived on time and the class was already on the carpet waiting for their special guest. Lilly was asked to introduce her brother and she stood proudly next to him during the entire story. It was a precious moment for sure. Winston did an AWESOME job reading the story and sharing the pictures. After the story, each of Lilly's classmates came up and shook hands with Winston and thanked him for coming. SO SO SWEET!!

I managed to get the tripod set up and the camera rolling so for once, I think the video job by me is decent!! The video is below. Enjoy storytime with Winston and look forward to an autumn version coming soon - he's been invited back and Winston wants to choose a special fall book for his next visit.

Thanks to Bethany CDC for this special moment and to all the teachers in this world who with their patience and dedication teach our children to read.
