Something doesnt look right


Drew is a numbers nut. I mean a real numbers nut. He is in his "happy place" when he has something to count, record, and report. Well, last week we got our basketball hoop fixed and this has been fodder for his fascination with numbers. For the past week, he has mastered his counting by 2's and 3's and has began tracking his number of total made baskets. So, the other day as we began a game of one-on-one, after I made my first basket, which was a 3, he announced the score as of the game as 1066 for Drew and 3 for Kirk. I then explained to him that you can start over the score for a new game and that we should start at 0-0. He accepted this and we played a game to 10 in which I won 10-8. A little later in the day, he showed me his current tally of the score which at the time was 1072-10, which I am guessing was my 10 points from the game we had just played and an attempt to add his 8 to his tally. As you can see from his "scoreboard", he then began graciously "playing on my team" and at the time of writing this entry, I had scored 6 more points and am 1056 points away from catching up to little "Pistol Pete."

okay, Drew is just out of this world brilliant! I still cannot get over the fact that he did so well in a spelling bee, and now he can count by 2's and 3's! He is one smart kiddo!
