Reading and not even four?

Jace simply amazes me, and has ever since he was little.  (He's still little, but he won't believe you).  

From talking, to engineering, to dressing and/or undressing himself, Jace has been on a mission to be independent and grown up since he was a baby.

He has a few books he really loves, and awhile ago he started "reading" them out loud.  He has a crazy good auditory memory and can memorize the pages and then retell them.  

Well, today, Ashlynn was reading one of her emergent reader books.  Her processing is slow and it's hard for her to get the words out even if she knows the word.  Jace was being quiet for the most part, which is unusual in the first place, but when Ashlynn would pause to try and come up with a word, Jace would not only finish the word, but he would read the rest of the sentence.  I wasn't paying too much attention thinking Jace had just memorized the book, but he started doing it on every page.  

I asked Cody if they had read that book already today, assuming they had and Jace had memorized it. 

The hadn't.

Oh my gosh, I think Jace can read!  I need to actually sit down with him when Ashlynn isn't around and see what he can do!  He's such a smart little boy :)
