I seem to be writing a lot about Christian lately. I hope that doesn't make Grant and Justin jealous, but I get to spend extra one-on-one time with Christian each afternoon while Grant is in school and the other children are sleeping...and he constantly amazes me. Christian is so fascinated with numbers and math right now. Here is one of our conversations from earlier today:
CHRISTIAN: What is 181 divided by 66?
ME: That's a tough one to do in my head, but the answer would be close to 3.
CHRISTIAN: I don't mean what it's close to. I need to know exactly.
ME: Then we will need a piece of paper and pencil or a calculator to figure it out exactly.
ME (with the calculator): 181 divided by 66 equals 2.742 with a repeating 4 and 2.
CHRISTIAN (laughing): You were way off!
No, I never did ask him why he needed to know the exact answer to 181 divided by 66. There was probably not a reason - at least not one that I would understand.
Now you know what I go through every afternoon!
