Math Wiz . . .

So this morning I was laying in bed with the girls (Kevin was in the kitchen baking our mini-muffins for breakfast), trying to go back to sleep after waking up early to check for snow delays. (School cancelled again!) Anyhow, this is not my strong suit. Once I wake up I'm pretty much out of luck for more sleep. Once in a while, however, if I hold really still and pretend I'm sleeping, magic happens. I was in the middle of this process, ignoring everything the girls were saying (because I was "asleep") when Sophie calmly says, "Mommy? 3 and 4 makes 7." I swear I have not started teaching her anything about adding. She's not even old enough for preschool yet. Besides, if I had I would have started with some traditional stuff, like 1 plus 1, or 1 plus 2. Not 3 plus 4 equals 7. So I start quizing her. (Yeah, I'm no longer feigning sleep at this point.) 1+1, 1+2, 2+2, 2+3, 4+1, 5+1, she can do them all! I then ask her how she knew all this. She looked at me like I was dense and said, "Mommy, I just counted it up." Guess that put me in my place. My point here is not that my kid is a genius. I realize that this could be a spurt and one or two years from now she could be average or even behind in math. I just thought it was cool that she did it on her own.
Or, there is the off-chance that she is so intelligent and manipulative that she knew exactly how to make me so excited that I would "wake up", and it will all disappear tomorrow . . . Out of the question? Not if you know her.
