K is five now so her concerns have become more adult, more real, more life experience related. With kindergarten coming at her in a scant 6 months she's turned her mind to math and educational devices. What kind of educational devices you may wonder? Workbooks? Calculators? Flash cards? An Abacus?No. Too simple. Too linear. Too … Continue reading fun with math…

The day will come, and I can see it off in the not so distant future, that I will no longer be K's best friend ever in the whole wide. She won't come to me with every little thing. She won't crawl into my bed, steal the covers, push us off the edges and then … Continue reading a blog for my mother…
