At least this baby is a summer baby! Your feet won't get too cold. (:

Thanks for the update!

I think so, too, Serina. Some days there's just no point in putting socks on.

Perhaps the difference, Janet, is that you've already been asked to make corrections as necessary. :) The reason I post is equal parts to update family and friends, and to keep records to aid my memory. (Blogging is more fun than keeping a diary.) Maybe friends and family don't care if the number is exactly correct, but for the record I like to have it right.

The number was 1,111,111. And he started writing the "Greek Alphabet" by writing normal upper case A, B and C with lines above and below. I also laughed with delight at his creativity, but when I noticed he was feeling downcast I simply started writing the correct Greek Alphabet with him (I got stuck on gamma, but he wrote it correctly but we got out his Discovery Binder to make sure we got them right.) He perked up right away, which is why I don't thing Grandma noticed his discomfort.

Still, why is it so hard for us to not worry about the mistakes children make that will self-correct soon enough? Why do we always have to correct everybody (including our own mother's blog posts? ;)

That is astounding.
