Mad math skillz.
Jan. 11th, 2010 09:00 pmBug and his Daddy are in his room, yelling out the words to "Silent Night" under the guise of "bedtime". I am so not fooled.
Bug is in a math moment right now; he desperately wants to play dice all the time, which means lining up the five dice from a Yahtzee game, convincing us to close our eyes while he takes some away, and then giggling when we guess how many he's got in his hand using how many are left. He's always fascinated by this. We try to lead him into number talk, such as, "I've got five and you took away two so I think I've got... THREE left!" But he would rather grab the dice, throw the dice, and jump on the couch. It's a compromise.
Work news: work continues to suck. But we might get health insurance tomorrow, and that would be cool.
