Ham Math

Chayce has started wanting to "do school" like her big brother. She sits with us, listens, and colors. I never really thought that it was doing much in the way of teaching her, until today.
"Mom," she says, "can I show you how I do math?"
"Sure," I reply, thinking she'll be showing me a picture of something related to what we learned earlier in the day. But, I am proven wrong as she starts telling me a story problem, a problem that we haven't covered in Zac's schooling.
"Mom, if my friend has four pieces of ham, and eats two, he only has two left, right?"
"Riiight..."
"Ok, so then, if he eats another one, then he can save one for lunch tomorrow!"
"Yes, good job, Chayce. Where did you learn math like that?"
"Oh, I just know it. Want to hear another one?"
"Mom, if I have two sticks..."

Let's just say that the evening was filled with my jaw a little more agape than I planned on. Little minds. So much bigger than we think.
