Dik-shuh-ner-e

A book containing a selection of the words of a language, usually arranged alphabetically, giving information about their meanings, pronunciations, etymologies, inflected forms, etc., expressed in either the same or another language...

I came downstairs the other day to find Dylan thoroughly engrossed in trying to read the dictionary! I can't help but be a little inspired and impressed that he would do this on his own.
What five year old chooses the dictionary to practice their newly acquired and somewhat rocky reading skills? Dylan can be such a funny kid, he's a little like his mother that way, the easy things in life overwhelm and upset us, yet sometimes we accidentally or maybe a little ignorantly jump into difficult things and find ourselves having a great time.

That's great! Although Carson cannot read yet, his favorite book is the dictionary too...of course ours has some pictures in it which keeps his attention.
