Reading is everywhere

We went to the swimming pool this afternoon to take a dip with Birch and Julie. We also got to see Bret coaching his diving girls.

We were having our snack in the lobby after swimming when Sabine started walking along the carpet in the middle of the room and sounding out the (6" or so tall) letters she saw:

Teton County/Jackson
Parks and Recreation

She asked what the words were, and I told her. She said them several times out loud to herself. When we got home, she asked me to write the words on her chalkboard.

No coercion, no lesson plan, just interest in the world around us.
