conulyShe has to take three doses a day for ten days, which conveniently backs her up into her pre-existing appointment.
When we were on the boat on the way to see her dad she asked me how many she takes. "Three a day, for ten days." Then she wanted to know how many she was taking that day. "You take one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one at night. That's three, but you didn't take one this morning. So today is only two." She clearly was thinking about this a bit, and then all of a sudden she comes out with "and so, on the eleventh day, I just take one, in the morning?"
Now, isn't that some good, clear mathematical thinking?
Ana did some review of long division on Sunday and got a little tangled up, so I sat down to help her. And here we are doing 6 into 5652 and we start out with, of course, 6 into 56. She piped up "nine times" and wrote it while I was still trying to remember what 6x9 IS. Still can't do her sevens, but she told me she's great at nines. Who the heck is great at their nines? Well, I'm happy for it anyway. She can do my nines, I'll do the sevens, Jenn can get the eights and my mom can handle the sixes. We can give the rest to Evangeline when she is older.
