All is quiet

A quiet child usually means trouble, but not this time...

Worry Much?

I am beginning to get the hint that I might, possibly, maybe, worry a bit much.

The reason I think this? Several times a week (day?) I hear Aeden telling me "Don't worry"...followed by a solution to whatever he perceives I am going to worry about. ;)

Happy 6th Birthday!

Multiplication

Last night Aeden asked a question which sparked a mini-lesson on how to multiply by 1s and 2s.
I explained it showing him that 2 x 2 = two groups of two so it is 4. We went through the 1s up to 12 and the 2s up to 12.

Today, less than 24 hours later, he has quite the grasp on multiplying by 1s (he does forget sometimes and adds), by 2s, and by 10s (which we didn't discuss with him). He can also multiply by some 3s (up to 3x9 with good accuracy). Now he isn't quick and fast every single time like a 4th grader should be...but we are very impressed!!
