I know Reid will learn many things in her life but I wanted to report on three things I’ve taught her:
1. How to squirt water from her rubber duckies in the tub
2. How to pick up wooden blocks with her toes (hint: it’s about positioning the block so that the thin edge is up)
3. How to chase the “sugar bugs” with her toothbrush, especially the purple ones that prefer her front teeth
Some day when she is learning calculus or physics, she’ll pause and say to her Daddy (because it will be him who helps her with these subjects), “I understand why it’s important to pick up blocks with my toes but what will math and science do for me?”
