Josiah has decided it is time to teach himself how to count to 100. He can manage pretty well if he has a 100 chart in front of him, but not so well without it yet. Today, I was reading a book to the older kids about a city in China, filled with locations that I can't pronounce. It was at this moment Josiah decided to start practice his counting. Our lesson sounded something like this:
Mom (attempting to pronounce Weihuaninggong): "Major Relgious Sites: Wee--xhgiahtome--gong! Imperial Residence"
Josiah: "26, 27, 28, 29..."
Mom: "Watchtowers top the many buildings of the tree-lined avenues of... (30!)... Changchun.
Josiah: "31, 32,...,37, 38, 39..."
Mom: Most of these buildings were built by the Japanese (40!) during their military occupation of this region..."
All the way to 100.
So now I can teach geography and preschool math at the same time. But then again, I think we might giggle too much.
