Obviously, we're not limiting Math Fun to just Fridays.  Today, we added in some Origami Math.

"Is this math, Mommy?"  "Yes."  "Wow.  Math is fun!"

Oliver

Oliver has mastered more levels this week.  I'm looking forward to getting his monthly progress report.  Next week, he begins intensive potty training.  I'm really hoping that this won't be too much of a struggle, either at the center or at home.

Jane

Jane is working on tracing right now.  Nothing crazy; just a Kumon workbook.

Peter

He is so much happier now that those teeth are through.  He started army crawling this week, too!
