OPEN

"Oh-oh-oh-puh-puh-puh-puh-en. En. En. Oh-puh-en? Open? Open, Mummy! OPEN!!! OPEN!"For us, this sign...on this building...will always be remembered as Hugh's first word ever read. His face filled with pride. His world opened with new possibilities. Today, watching Hugh unwrap the gift of reading, we are once again reminded how lucky we are to share in our child's discoveries.
Congratulations Hugh. We are so proud of you!

Hugh!!! Ja'mum is sooooo proud of you! I love to see the pride on YOUR face when you realize that you've accomplished something big like this! All those "letter of the day" days are paying off!

Way to go, Hugh-be-doo!!!

That's our Hugh :)

Way to go buddy. Not to be out done by a little announcement about somebody doing something called walking - after all you've been doing that for years - you're now starting to read . . . .

Brilliant!!!

Love, Nana
