Clara Margot has read her first word. A few weeks ago, we were at House of Jin, celebrating the first day back at school after spring break. Geoff took her to the restroom. She pointed up, "Dad, this isn't the right one for me, it says, "MEN."

I can't archive back just now but I think I wrote about how Manny read his first word. We were at the restaurant at Ft. Tryon Park and he was in the bathroom with me and he looked over, "Mom, they spelled 'home' wrong. They put an 'e' at the end.

I love that, those one- on -one trips to the restroom. You get them alone. You can see a little of the work that goes on in their little selves.
