From the backseat…

This morning on the way to daycare I hear this from the backseat, “You almost done with that book?”

I thought to myself, “Wow that really sounded like Brynn”.  My next thought was that it couldn’t be, that’s a big sentence for her.

I got a chance to glimpse in the back seat and sure enough Rylee was the one with the book.

I tell ya, Brynn amazes me daily when she speaks.

The New Math….

We’ve heard that the elementary schools are teaching what everyone calls “new math”.  As we don’t have kids who attend elementary just yet we’ve been asking other parents what it entails and they all just shrug because they don’t get it.

After dinner tonight I think we finally have a handle on it.

We were trying to introduce Rylee to the wonderful world of addition.

Bill had just helped her discover that 2 + 3 = 5.  Then he asked, “What is 5 + 1?”  That’s when Brynn piped up and said, “Purple!”.

This is going to keep me laughing for a few days!
