And for Mr. Codey, there are several things that come to mind when I think about him lately... (above pic on his 5 1/2 b'day)...First, the academia. I'm not sure if it is that he has entered Kindergarten or if he is to be a man of useless facts, but he is sooooo interested in silly facts and in numbers. Troy and I like to think that he has inherited our nerdy math heads. He really can do some crazy math...constantly asking us if we know sums of 2 numbers...asking Kyndal too. He likes to count by 5's, 10's, 20's, 50's.
And then the oh-so-interesting tidbits he knows about animals and dinosaurs. I wish I could say I was listening so well that I could tell you here how long a Brontosaurus's neck is or how many teeth an average shark has, but he could tell you. If he starts a sentence with, "Did you know...?" you can be assured that you are going to learn something with a number in it....how long a whale stays underwater, how fast a dinosaur can run, how many dads it would take to be as tall as a certain dinosaur.
Obviously, he prefers the nonfiction books. Dad and I groan a bit when we tell him to pick out books at night...looking to enjoy a little Cat in the Hat...and he comes back with the Underwater Dictionary of Sharks and Whales! We love him for it though. Maybe he'll win his million on Jeopardy!
