Numbers, numbers, numbers. Joseph is intensely fascinated with numbers. I found this great site compiling activities for kids who love math -- can't wait to try out these ideas! Aside from from his beloved number babies, here are a couple more numbers in Joseph's life. For Chris' birthday, Joseph and I baked a batch of brownies. I asked Joseph if we should put 46 candles on top, and he said, "That's too many!" 😉 We settled for just six. I was busy in the kitchen one day, and when I walked over to check on Joseph, he'd pulled up two little chairs to his easel, one for himself and one for his "four baby." He was showing 四寶寶 how to write the time! (12:02) Joseph learned to tell time when he was 2, and he has loved checking watches and clocks since. Nothing better than perusing an ad for watches. Joseph asked me for "number lights" and "flying numbers." I thought about how to make it happen, and came up with these. A little bit of colored vellum, some felt, a hot glue gun... and one very delighted little boy. My budding graffiti artist. You can always tell after Joseph's been at the park because he leaves every horizontal surface (like this wall at Little Howe) covered with numbers. We go through a lot of chalk in this household, and Joseph was pretty excited when his friend Neel gave him a piece shaped like a bunny.
