I have 300 cents!

Poppa look! I have 300 cents! I counted them; 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 2 five cents makes 100 and 2 more five cents is 200 and 2 more five cents is 300!!

While we were finishing dinner with friends the kids were busy making several drawings in the living room. The others drifted off to play but Mikah cleared the coffee table, made a sign that said 25¢, laid out his drawings, and sat back in his new art gallery! He made 75¢ within 5 minutes!

This time I'm serious.

Time just goes by too quickly. The boys are getting older and encounter so many new and cool things that deserve to be added here that I have just made a conscious decision to continue noting their journey through life.

Mateo is now in Grade 3 and Mikah is in Kindergarten. The school day ritual ends with homework for Mateo from Monday to Thursday. Mikah is so keen on school that he has been asking us to give him homework too. Both are accelerating at their levels quite well. Having an older brother has given Mikah a slight edge though as he has picked up math skills beyond his grade and his reading skills are coming along also. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
