We weren’t formerly teaching math – but we were doing counting – and getting the 1-1 correlation between the number word “three” and three items around age 3… Both boys could do simple adding by age 4 (single digit addition). And both boys picked up simple subtraction before 5… which was ahead of their peers… We didn’t formally teach it – just did goofy games around the dinner table… (You have 5 green beans… You ate two – how many left.).

Both hubby and I are math nerds though, we enjoy math, puzzles, etc. – the boys are showing signs of having the same math ability and love of nerdly stuff.. They even started doing sudoku in kindergarten.

That said – different kids have different aptitudes… some of their classmates were reading at a much higher level, but not as strong at math… I imagine they’ll all even out at some point.

I know some of the signs they look for in “kindergarten readiness” is being able to count to 20, and having that one-to-one correlation between the number word and the # of items. (My sis the teacher made sure the boys were ready.)

I guess I’m not surprised by the house size thing. I was born in ’61 (yes, I’m old). The first house I lived in was a 4/2 1326 sf house over in Clairemont. It was plenty big for our family of 5. My dad saw a deal on a foreclosure in late 1965 and bought it… it was HUGE and remote by the standards of the time – 2016 sf. (In 1965 you could only get into University City by Regents Rd… Genesee didn’t connect and 805 and 52 were quite a few years off.)

I know that through high school 2000+ sf was considered a large house compared to my peers. Most of my friends/classmates had smaller houses – more like 13-1800sf.

I’m a holdout against smart phones. I like tech gadgets – but I don’t like the monthly hit on the data plan. I love to surf the net, but don’t have a strong enough desire to do so while not at work or home. (Have internet access in both places.) It’s not worth the monthly charge for the few times a month I might want to use a data plan on a smart phone.

I’m the opposite of Enron-by-the-sea… I would give up cell phone all together before I’d give up cable tv. I don’t see a reason to give up the wii… no monthly budget hit on that. Different preferences, I guess.
