Creating a geek.

Emmett was learning to read digital clocks at the same time that we were doing mental math problems before bed. I pointed out to him that he could always look at the clock and get a math problem - add two of the digits, or add the hours to the minutes, or whatever. I only mentioned it once, and it was at least 6-8 weeks ago.

Tonight as we were snuggling before bed and I turned down the brightness on his clock a bit. He's been having trouble getting to sleep and I thought brightness might not be helping. He asked me to turn it up, though, because he wanted to see it easily to get math problems! Then, as it was 9:43, he did 9 + 3, and at 9:44 he did 9 + 44.
