While Carter is rhyming away, Tyler is adding away. The thing that gets us though is we really don't know where it came from as its something we haven't been wok ring on with him. However all of a sudden he will put three fingers on one hand up, three fingers on the other hand up, count them and then tell us "3 and 3 is 6!" He does this with all numbers, all on his own, and it really comes from nowhere. I see him practicing it to himself from time to time as well. It is so fun to watch him learn things and all on his own!
In other news he has been doing great as a big brother. Throughout the day you can hear Tyler telling Carter that they should use teamwork when it comes to cleaning up there room or whatever else. Instead of just taking toys or getting upset when Carter takes one of his, he is using his words. The other day at church they learned about the story of the Good Samaritan. Along with it they made little first aid kits, complete with stickers. Tyler soaked this up and retold the story to both Justin and I. The next day Carter was upset about something and Tyler went and got him a sticker from his first aid kit to help him feel better. Priceless.

Both of my kids did the same thing. Out of nowhere they started doing math, so I've encouraged it. Figured it was a good head start for when they do it in school, and Carissa was way ahead in school last year for math.
