On the drive home from his first day at a Montessori summer day-camp thing (he did SO good! yay Jake!) we got to talking about numbers. I would tell him which exit we were passing, and then ask him how many miles it was to our exit -- a number that he knows well. He was able to do the math pretty well and figure it out. Then he asks: "Mom, can you count by 6's?"
Uhhh.
So I started. I got to 60 and stopped a bit. He wanted me to go on.
I got to 120. I told him I was DONE. It's hard to fight rush hour traffic and do math in your head. Ok, just hard for me.
So then we were figuring out what 56 plus 10 was. Then we kept adding 10 and adding 10. And can you believe that when we got to 96, he knew that 106 came next? Where did this kid get his brain?!!! (Hint: not me.)
