    This morning I dropped off my Son, AJ at his pre-school. He and the majority of his classmates are 4.5 years old. I gathered 4 of them (boys) around a very small table and had a piece of paper and pen.

    I said we were going to count to 40 and if they would help me! They all started reciting the numbers in sequential order and went all the way to 40!! I was impressed with that and I had 20 of the new $1 coins in my pocket shiny and new.
    As a reward I gave each of them a new dollar. One child's remark was " yea money", another childs remark was thats Geroge Washington! One child ran around the room with it yelling look look!!!!

    My Son puffed out his lower lip and looked at me in disghust remarking" Dad, your giving away my piggies!!

    WOW!! What an experience this morning.:p :p
