The other night as my husband was putting our 5 year old to bed, she said:
“Daddy, Daddy! Stay with me so that you can hear me count by 2’s...all the way to 39.”
Hmmm....

Thanks for the big smile. What a precious story. So many things to enjoy now, and so many things to look forward to as our little Peanut grows!

So....what’s the problem? You mean 39 isn’t an even number???

If she needs some tutoring, I know a few people who are good at that “math” thing.

Did she start at one? If so, she’s right on track, and more clever than many adults. If not, the concept of divisibility isn’t usually covered until later anyway, so it’s no cause to worry.

Good point, MamasBoy!

MamasBoy,
That’s really clever of you to think of that.
Um...yeah...I’m sure that’s what she meant. 
Euphrony,
Thanks for the offer. I’m going to take you up on that some day - I’m nearly worthless when it comes to math. If I see too many numbers in one place my eyes glaze over…

sounds like something i would say! haha
We have a “Math Anxiety Group” here on campus in the counseling center for people who hate math. I’ve seriously considered attending. 
I swear, your kids say the CUTEST things EVER.
