The other day we found a copy of one of my favorite books from when I was little on a free book table. The copy was beat up and pages were falling out but you can't beat free. Even though we aren't really at the level of reading chapter books with Sincere I decided to let him try to read it. With a mix of sight words and phonics he got the first page pretty quickly. He gets distracted pretty easily so I decided to break up the pages in chunks. You can see him getting distracted in the video when he is imagining a station under one of the words and is worried that I won't get the lollipop out of the garbage (I didn't really put it in there). But I have learned with Sincere you just work at his fast pace, do stuff in small increments and be open to distractions and he will get it.
Its just fun to now being able to share a book I remember reading (although I was much older, LOL!) And excuse the camera work. I am always filming with one hand and a heavy camera so its not the best.

Marching to The Beat of His Own Drum
It's no secret Sincere tends to stick out in a crowd. You can have a crowd of 100 kids (don't know why you would be crazy enough to do that but) and I can guarntee you will notice and remember Sincere. And this is true for too many reasons to even list. One main reason is that he marches to the beat of his own drum. No matter what we are doing or where we are at Sincere is doing his own thing in his own way. He knows what is expected of him and how to do things that he is supposed to be doing but he just finds that he would rather listen to his beat then yours. That's just how he rolls.
Need prove that he stands out, marches to his own drum and is Sincere 24-7 here you go. This is classic Sincere. I guess he wanted it to be skins versus shirts. No go.
