The Kid Is Smart!

I'm not biased or anything....

Really though he it amazes me what he picks up on and learns so quickly.  Most things good, others not so good, but that's another post!

Cade was playing the Wii (SURPRISE!!) the other night and he actually chose to play a game other than Mario Kart.  He loves math and numbers and puzzles and anything else related.  He was playing my Big Brain Academy Wii Degree game and chose a game where you have to count how many balls of two different colors go into a basket then choose which color had more go in. 

Anyway, I had to take this video and post it to show just how bright my little man can be. J

The last time he played this particular game, we had to help him out to get the right answer and I know we gave him a few tips, but this was the first time he actually counted them like this.  I asked Cory if he told him to do that and he said he hadn't.  Another thing he's done before while playing Mario Kart is exclaim how many cars behind Cory he is, based on their places in the pack (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)  We didn't teach him that either. 

We don't have to wonder where this talent mathematics came from.  Cory's has an engineering degree and me?  Ha.  Let's just say there's a reason I worked with 4 year olds. 

Pick Me Up Monday: Music Madness

Monday again!  But this Monday is different.  This Monday is the FIRST FULL DAY OF SPRING!  I can barely contain myself!  In a post I did about wanting needing Spring to hurry it's little flower covered booty up, I talked about always playing Jack Johnson to ring in the fabulous weather.  This morning on the way back from dropping Cade off at school, I did nothing but blast Jack Johnson (or play as loudly as I could while still able to hear Brynlee and not bursting her ear drums, which really isn't all that close to "blasting" actually.) 

Regardless, I still fully enjoyed it and now I want to share one of my favoritest most favorite favorite Jack Johnson song!  (Hopefully it plays.  Sometimes YouTube doesn't allow videos to play on blogs.  If not, you should go search it because it's completely enjoyable!)





I did this post as a part of Baby Dickey's Pick Me Up Monday but also my sister-in-law, Jen, does a Music Madness Monday, so I guess this post fits that too!  Thanks for the ideas guys haha!
