Mom.......?




About 2 months ago, Ryan and I started doing Abel's talking for him. Ryan immediately had Abel asking me questions....and for those of you who know Ryan well, you know that he LOVES to ask LOTS of questions! The two most entertaining questions I have fielded are, "Mom, what are suspension bridges?" and today was, "Mom, how does a pineapple grow?" Sometimes, when I don't know the answer perfectly and immediately, I suggest he go and look it up on the internet. One of my first days back to school, I got an email from Abel with a link to facts about suspension bridges. Today, I took this picture of Ryan helping Abel look up facts about pineapples. I'm not sure how healthy it is to have Abel so intrigued by the computer so soon, but at least he's practicing the very important lifeskill of curiosity!

He's getting ready for school! It's essential to have basic pineapple/suspension bridge knowledge before entering preschool.

Love the thumb pic-what a cutie!!!

I wonder if he will ever ask, "what's an angle called if it is more than 180° but less than 360"?

I know that one! Obtuse! Thanks to my many hours in Mrs. Flessner's math class. Abel will be the smartest babe around if he learns as well as Mrs. Flessner teaches...
