Jessica is in the other room doing school with Evie.  The 4 year old is now becoming an educated little girl.  May the learning never end, little girl, may you find yourself always in wonder of the new things to know in life.

The four year old just shared this bit of logical gymnastics:

Sharks are fish.  So you could call all fish sharks.

I’m going to pass on doing that.  I’m also not going to bother her with the explanation of why that is not logically consistent.

At breakfast Grandma said, “When we’re done eating we’re all going to work together to clean up the house.”  About 45 minutes later the 4 year old asks, “Why is grandpa on his computer instead of cleaning?  Is he the manager?”  I totally wish I could make this stuff up.

For the record grandpa did help with the cleaning.

My sister-in-law Kelsey took Evie on an Auntie – Niece date and asked Evie, “How did you get so big?”

Evie’s response was classic: “You tell me.”

Yup, she’s four!

She’s getting so big its blowing my mind.  Don’t get me started on Abby, who is also just turning into  a big girl and has all but lost everything that made her a little girl.  Being a dad is awesome, but this growing up bit is mind boggling.

Jessica is presently in the other room schooling the 4 year old. How did the girl turn 4?! Blows my mind. Anyway, she’s being schooled on greater than and less than and I think she’s got the concept down. It tends to really register once you put the lessons in candy form. Fortunately its autumn and the season calls for candy.

Next month I hope we can teach her pie charts with real pecan pie.
