Look out Dieter Zetsche!

S has really taken off with reading. Something has clicked into place and he's reading everything that's not nailed down. This morning he was trying to sound out the word "cent". And of course the "c" tripped him up. So we reminded him that sometimes "C" makes a "sss" sound and asked him if he could think of any other words that worked this way.

YES, he shouts, triumphantly: SUBARU!

Is this a consequence of living with a bunch of males? The auto industry has permeated every aspect of our lives! Some days I feel like a member of a cult!

Am remembering when B was two and we asked him if he knew of any words that start with the letter Z. What was his answer?

Sebring Convertible...

Which actually might have been a premonition about a move to Germany, because that's definitely how the Germans pronounce it: Zebring .
