So Phillip has figured out how to count past 100. He LOVES to count. I think the highest number he has counted to is 746! He will sometimes count in bed when he isn't very tired. He was excited when he learned to count by 5 and 10.
Today he wanted to count his piggy bank. This has been our house coin collection for about 4 years. We counted it together. $156.40 in quarters, nickels & dimes. $30 in paper money from Phillip's egg business. Pretty good for just extra change around the house.
Phillip kept trying to do eeny-meeny-miney-mo to decide which coins to give to Heavenly Father and Jesus.
Phillip's latest obsession is calendars and counting down dates. I guess it started with the advent calendar in December. He got a scripture reading chart and has been good about getting out the scriptures every night. Last night he wanted to have his scriptures for reading time in his bed. Lily wanted one of her board books. Phillip said, "Lily the scriptures are the most important book! It's more important than 'Lily's Chocolate Heart' book!"
It's great to have such a good little guy! ;-)

I love these this post! Is he praying over each number individually when you are hungry for really good food?
This may be a birth order thing - huh. We miss you guys!
My son is just like yours and did the same exact thing when he was that age. He is now in 1st grade and has no trouble with Math. I bet your son will have a love for Math too!
He will make a great accountant!!
