Monday: Happy Birthday

Today we celebrated Tornado and Horizon's 2nd birthday.

The boys got out all the special food and made Lego gifts and decorations.

They got wet cat food.  Horizon licked it quite a bit, Tornado ignored it.  Possibly the candles scared him.

Joshua opened his presents.  He had made them a heart out of their colors and a cat.

Isaac made a cake...

That could be cut into two pieces with a dull knife.

In other news, we started working on addition because number flash cards are boring.  Does anyone have a trick for telling the difference between a six and a nine?

This is what Joshua made me yesterday.

Google has some suggestions.

You could try the rhymes "six kicks and "nine shines." Six kicks the "ball" at the bottom of the number and nine is the "ball/sun" shining at the top of the number.

Another suggestion was to remember that six has a big belly and nine has a big head.
