MY Baby Can Read

I am sure you have all seen the infomercial about the program, Your Baby Can Read. I am not an infomercial fan. I don't sit up late at night watching them fascinated by what they're advertising. Therefore, I don't quickly order whatever it is they're selling either.

I did have success with one infomercial product: P90X. And I can't say I didn't covet those who had, Your Baby Can Read. So, unbenownst to me, my Mom sent it to Cashe for Christmas! (Mommy's infomercial dream come true!)

So we started the videos that day - December 25th. And less than one month later, Cashe can read three words. At 14 months old, my son can read three words!

The program comes with videos, books & flashcards. Cashe watches the video every morning after breakfast & later in the day we read through the book & go over the flash cards (I know, I know - Shad continues to call me Rick Moranis from Parenthood because of the flashcards).

The other day, I held up the flashcard that read, "Arms Up". There are no pictures on the card & I said nothing, I swear. All of a sudden, Cashe yells, "up!" & throws his arms in the air!

Then Momma did the same!! ... then I started crying! (Poor little Mister was totally confused.)

My baby can read! My baby can read! My baby can read!

The next day, I held up the "Clap" flashcard & although he can't say it yet, he started clapping. Again, no photos, no gestures & no words from me. He did it all on his own.

Same again with the flashcard, "Wave".

Oh yeah, he's a genius.
