We were playing yesterday (while learning about shapes) when my star unequivocally states that "a square is a baby rectangle". That is a neat concept and if I ever teach math it will be a concept I use.
Right now, we are in the mommy, daddy, and baby phase. Everything must be in groups of three. Then she proceeds to name them. We have mommy banana slices, daddy banana slices, and Nicole banana slices. She does this with everything. How do I explain to her that some babies have two mommies or two daddies?

Wait until later?
Because people warn you about the sleepless nights, the terrible twos or threes, but they leave out the harder stuff as they age. Mean, mean people.
Blog hopping--HP
you don't. you just say "OH Hey! Banana!" every time the subject comes up. And then by the time they're 8 or so, their friends will fill them in. "Sandbagging Parenting Skills 101"

Baby squares eh? You could probably make that into a theory of some sort and get it published in some maths journals (actually, do they have math journals?)
I love the baby squares concept! so cute. meanwhile my 8 year old's math homework stumped me the other nite.
in my defense the directions were very unclear!
found you thru Blog Hoppers. glad I did, will check back in...
