A Reading Lesson

Gavin is learning to read. He's gotten to the point where he notices letters and signs while we're out and tries to read them. The other day, he was sitting in the car next to Elisabeth who was reading Jane Austen's Emma; he was looking over her shoulder and suddenly proclaimed, "Mom, I see lots of "the's!" (We had worked for quite awhile the previous day on learning "the" as a sight word.)
Yesterday, on our way home from church, we passed a QT gas station. This time he yelled out, "Hey that is a "KWUT" station!" (QT pronounced phonetically sounds like "kwut.") Of course, we all started laughing which made him even prouder of his reading accomplishment.

Anyone want to go to the KWUT station for a soda?
