Yep...he's pretty tickled. We've made a big deal out of it. ('Couse, we've also made a big deal out of Matthew getting 32 out of 30 on his last Latin exam. Two were extra credit.)
Also, when I was up in the attic getting Steve's robe down, I stumbled on Matthew's old pinewood derby trophies from when he was in scouts. He did very well, first place a couple of times plus most original design. So I hauled those down and it reminded him that he's done well in the past. We'll put them back up on the "Awards Shelf".
He finished reading War of the Worlds to Joshua and is now reading "Tale of the Toa" Bionicle book in the evening, btw. One of those Scholastic books.
Steve broke the attic access door hinge...he's out in the garage fixing it.
That's great that Matthew reads to Joshua. Helps them both with their reading!
