D and 1,2,3

Vitamin D that is. It does a body good.

We have been enjoying these balmy days outside. There is still snow in the shadows of our back yard and Ella ate it while Maddie made golf cart (and bum) tracks.


As for the 1,2,3 we have started working on numbers! Maddie knows most of them by sight, but we finished the uppercase alphabet, and the lowercase (26 more?!) seemed like a big project. Mike suggested we do numbers and maybe even start talking about math. Maddie loves the calculator and can recognize the plus and equals signs... so why not?

Maddie wanted to play hopscotch and I thought it was a great opportunity to talk about numbers.

And we found some cheap magnetic numbers at the craft store. We'll have her reciting pi in no time! (I'm not even kidding... has anyone heard Mike do this out about 20 decimal places??? My kids have a chance at left brain thinking, thanks to my engineer husband. )

Wouldn't that be great to really "get" math!! Yeah for egg heads! They definitly will be creative little people because of their Mommy. Is it possible to be both? Although if I remember right, you had the best math brain at our house.
