I feel the pain for my parents now…. Our car rides lately, “Mom I can count to 100, 1, 2, 3….100, 101, 102….”. I vagely remember doing this to my own parents. At first it’s awesome knowing he can count so far and that he grasps the concept of counting after he reaches 100 but wow, 100 is a long time :0)! I love him anyways!!
Preston is really good with number, just like his Dad! We were stuck at a train yesterday and Preston is talking about this and that while the train is passing. Then says he doesn’t like this train because it’s too long. Finally the train passes and we start to move on…”That was a long train, it had 86 boxes” says Preston. I’m like, “You counted all of those?”, he replies, “Yeah”. I’m thinking how the heck did he keep track counting all those boxcars and talking at the same time… I couldn’t keep track if I was alone in the car and writing it down!!
He’s always done a lot of number work in his head, just like his dad… addition and subtraction. It’s really neat, I still don’t know how Jarod does it.
It’s amazing how their little minds work!!
