Math Project

We took a long walk today around the neighborhood. Instead of math workbook, we played math with the license plates. The last four characters on every non-vanity plate are numbers, so we broke it into two two-digit numbers and added them together. He did *really well* even with the ones with carrying/regrouping -- he was usually able to just tell me the answer. Which is pretty amazing to me, considering I was still using my fingers and he was giving me the answers before I knew them.

ALSO -- I don't know if I'm kidding myself or not, and I probably am, because that's just the kind of rakish cad that I am -- Benny was a LOT better today. He's been so irritable and awful lately, just pitching fits over nothing and acting so bossy and angry. Today he was better. I took him off peanut butter and peanuts, and put him back on Valerian. Violin class tonight was much much better -- better for example than last week where I had to just give up and take him home because he was waving his bow like a flag and wouldn't quit. So... who knows?
