Can't really help him with these subjects

 I am totally losing the fight to make my children Historians. Anderson does request, "another president story" every single night as he stalls bedtime, but for the most part, I think his future lies in P.E., Science and Math at this point.

He is ALWAYS talking about numbers.

"Bobble, let's count by 2 to 100." "Let's count to 1000" "What number is higher than infinity?"  "How old is Max going to be when I am 346?" "Is 7000 plus 11,000-18,000?" It is pretty awesome when he is watching basketball and says something like, "They are losing by 10." or "score 3 more to tie it up." He is seriously learning to add and subtract on his own by watching sports. I was not prepared for this stage, but I am digging it. (Except when it is ALL of the time and then it is sort of annoying. Just being honest. I am not really a number person.)

And, then there is Science, which I think all kids probably like because they are just curious.  He loves his Science kit from Nicole and I have found random "experiments" that he can do with stuff we have around the house. I love that he is so curious and interested in experimenting. I guess this is like boy crafting?

A great Science experiment site

Kiwi Crate Science ideas

 2 ingredients-water + cornstarch= mind blown.

This was a fun one where we looked at the effect of different liquids on teeth by putting eggs in them and then studying them. He wanted to do coke, water, milk & banana juice.*

*this is not a real thing, but I had a bag of the really ripe bananas that were $1 at Ingles, so I let him go for it. Plus, isn't that the point of science? To just sort of believe in things that are not real?**

**or, is that magic? Am I confusing magic and science?

Note-these are things from over the past month or so, we are not hard core Bill Nyeing in one day around here.
