Evan


Evan is just amazing, annoying at times, but really amazing. We were driving home from church tonight when he said, "I know what 20+10 is... 30!" Then he proceeded to add ten to 30, then to 40, then to 50, all the way up to 100. Then he started adding 100s. 100+200=300, 300+100=400. I asked him what 200+200 equals and it took him only a few seconds to come up with the right answer! He was loving it too! He decided it would be fun game to come up with addition combinations that equal ten. He did them all, 5+5, 6+4, 7+3, etc. I was amazed. Then I was really amazed when he decided to do 20: 10+10, 11+9, 12+8, etc. I don't know where this kid comes up with this stuff. We probably do math once a week, if that much. The kid is a GENIUS! Now if I could just get him to snap his own pants or put on his shoes. @@


He's cute too!

Wow! that is so cool. I love when it "clicks" like that and they totally get something.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

I cannot imagine having a kid who spontaneously does math. That's AMAZING. Evan's AMAZING. If my kid was that cool, I'd give him ice cream for breakfast, let him play computer games all day and never make him do anything he doesn't want to.

OK. That's SO not true. But I'd give him one enormous hug and brag about it to everyone. How awesome.

He's a cutie.
