But what about math?

Rose: Mommy, what is four plus four?
me (barely conscious and wishing she would let me sleep in a little later): mmmmm
Rose: 1, 2, 3, 4 [pause] 5, 6, 7, 8 - Eight!!! Four plus four is eight!

I gotta tell ya, that woke me up quickly. Rose just turned four years old last week. My eyes were closed and I can't tell you for sure if she used four fingers and added them twice but I think that's what she did. Voila - multiplication. lol

She's also highly musically inclined and Hubby pointed out that with the pause in the middle of her adding, she could have been rhythmically adding.

Rose: Matthew, are you still hoping the baby is a boy?
Matthew: No, I hope it's a girl.
Rose: Why?
Matthew: Because then on Boys Night Out, I don't have to worry about anyone else hogging Daddy!
