I have not been purposeful in "teaching" the boys these past months.  I have been a bit worried that Caleb will be bored in Kindergarten if he is too advanced a reader.  And so we play, and I read to them, and when the opportunities present themselves, we count, and sound things out, and talk about the world around us. 

Still I continue to be amazed at how well Caleb effortlessly picks up facts.  But more so, how he understands concepts.  You don't have to teach a child multiplication when he knows that cleaning his bathroom gets him a candy... for surely cleaning two bathrooms will bring twice the treats.
