This Child Floors Me...

Matthew loves playing with calculators. This week he's been testing to see that a number times the same number is always the same as the number squared. (In other words, hitting 6x6= will always show the same answer as hitting 6 and the "squared" button.) He gets overly excited when he sees that it always works.

Well today he just wanted to type big numbers. After a very brief explanation from Daddy about what each "place" was and how you read big numbers, he was easily reading 5 and 6 digit numbers without missing anything. He came up to me and read, without faltering or missing anything, the number 555,245,555. I know some adults who can't do that and he's 4! His brain just absorbs stuff so easily and I'm enjoying it while it lasts!!
