A moment of silence September 13, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Kids, She Blinded me with Science, Ghost in the (sewing)Machine , trackbackNot to memorialize anything. Just that right now, I have a moment of silence. The commanding for our test is approved. If Selene launches on schedule, we will be fine over the weekend.
So I breathe…
I finished the chilly Willy Jammie pants the other night. The waist is 1 inch too high. Depending on my paranoia and perfection, I might rip it out and redo the waist. Or I won’t. Length is perfect. As part of my lessons learned from prototyping the pants for myself, I made a little Chilly Willy tag for the back of the pants. I can’t figure out the front or back of my jammies for lack of a tag. And the way you put them on makes a difference.
I am ready to start on the top. I need to start that tonight. I hope to sew the sides to the back. That’s not asking too much is it? (Asks the woman whose daughter went to bed after 10:30!!!!)
Recreational math:
Last night, Jay was at Temple for services, so I put the girls to bed. Luna was first. I asked Soleil to have her snack, brush teeth and read a book or something until I was done with Luna.
When I walked in, I found her hard at work:
2+2=4
4+4=8
3+3=6
10+10=20
12+12=24
1+1=2
8+8=16
What’s this? I ask…
"Oh, I’m just doing some math" she replies
"Who taught you these?" I ask, rather surprised
"My brain taught me"

What a smart cookie, just like her mama :).
Cool! Good luck with Selene.
That maths is great! Lily has said “my brain told me” before - I love it!
And you’re surprised about S’ being a math whiz because ‘?’
; )
