X wowed his teachers at VBS tonight. However, it wasn't by his superior biblical knowledge or profound religious thoughts. His teacher gave a 3 minute warning for a transition. Without missing a beat, X piped up, "That is 180 seconds!" Everyone was astonished. I guess most pre-k students don't know that random fact. When they got home, Jut started quizzing him. A few made him think for a couple moments, but he made it all the way up to 10 minutes is 600 seconds I think that is pretty impressive for a 5.5 year old that is starting grade k this fall.
I forget how well his mathematical abilities are since I see them every day. He knows his addition facts almost as well as his sister. I forget that many of my eighth graders couldn't have done what he exhibited this evening. He is my mathematician.
