Sam….my little sam, my chair-throwing Sam, the sam who couldn’t read when he came to school last fall…..REACHED HIS BIG GOAL TODAY!!!!!!!

He was so excited, he giggled…then I giggled. He shook with joy, his tiny fists flying through the air as danced and squirmed and twirled around the room!

all that work….all that time….all those afternoons after school….

worth every minute.
