More numbers for your entertainment

And our life with numbers continues. Casey calls out the page numbers in his books, finds numbers on buildings, on the car inspection sticker, and he was even counting and reading along with the ongoing game clock as we were watching the World Cup game. It took me a minute to figure out why he was sitting there saying "41, 42, 43, 44, 45 ..." And of course we still spend much of our time making playdough numbers. He even counts the number of 1's he has (we have to make a lot of 1's so he can line up all the teen numbers.)

And he still likes to watch the clock for the numbers to change, and we've made this work to our advantage, telling Casey that in the morning, a "5" on the left makes him go back to sleep and not to call for Momma or Daddy until it says 6:20. And 8:00pm "makes" him get in the bed at bedtime, and 8:10 "makes daddy leave."

So his math skills will probably surpass mine by the time he's in 7th grade.



He really could do this all day.
