We'll get them grasping concepts before they have to learn it out of a book. <br />Ian had a lot of fun on his birthday.

Congrats, too, on being the week's Star Student...you'll definitely travel a lot if you're an astronaut! Great family birthday celebration! Ian knows how to take one deep breath to blow out candles :-)...enjoyed watching the interaction between Ian and Alli...beautiful cards & gifts from Alli's heart to Ian (and allowing Ian to be "boss for the day"...she really has to love him to say that!) The shiny gold bag was a gift, in itself...he had such fun seeing how shiny and reflective it was. Lots of exciting new things to build...lots of discovery awaits with the "magic" of tracing paper to draw some really neat things. That was a great "hidden" math exercise involving cake slices...such a fun, easy way to show how math is used all around us, even on birthday cakes (kudos to Ian for grasping those concepts very well, too!) Another special family time together (and some wise, encouraging words of "that's ok...we always help each other all the time...that's what family is about" after Alli unexpectedly helped blow out Ian's birthday candles.)
