This morning, as we were driving to preschool, Caleb started talking softly from the back seat like he often does. He said "Mommy, when Joshua's 9, I'll be 7." I mindlessly said "Yep, that's right," and he kept right on going at an extremely quick pace. "If Joshua's 10, I'll be 8; when he's 11, I'll be 9; when he's 12, I'll be 10..." He kept going and I was sort of tuning it out. Then it struck me. He's not only counting, he's subtracting and going in step perfectly by two's. It doesn't necessarily seem like much when you're around him everyday, but that's impressive to me that our three year-old does math like that quite easily and quite quickly. He takes after his Daddy! ;-)
