Flash cards

Last night I let Leo open one of his gifts from Pop-pop and Por-por. They were addition flash cards. I thought, oh no, this is for kids 6 and up. We'll have to store this away. He asked me how the game worked, so I explained what a '+' was and that the line meant equals. He got it immediately, and he did 3+1, 2+3, etc perfectly. Then I explained what a zero was and he was able to add those as well. I was so proud of him and so excited that he might be a budding little math guy. Today I gave him some jelly beans and he's learning how to subtract!
