It is pretty neat when the one thing a grandson wants for his birthday is to spend the weekend with his grandparents without his siblings. That's my excuse for not doing a lot of blogging this last weekend, and what a great excuse it was.
This time it was my almost six year old grandson, He is a pretty amazing kid. He is just learning to read, but he has had his math skills down for a while. On the car ride home he wanted to do multiplication drill because he didn't get any at school. This kid could add, subtract, multiply, divide, do simple algebra and word problems, and do squares and square roots, and understand how the number line worked (positive and negative numbers) before he learned how to write the numbers. He once asked me if math was a "game."
Anyway, having one's grandson over is a time sump, and a pleasant one at that.
I have other things going on this week that provide good blogging material, but which will take time away from my blogging. I will be doing at least a post a day, and more than that some days until Sunday, when I can go back to full scale blogging.
