Aden (4 years, 11 months), Jonathan (3 years, 5 months), Elizabeth (16 months)
Last month when my mom was here visiting she bought the boys calculators at Walmart. They were only 50 cents each...what a deal! Well, for two weeks straight they followed us around the house with calculators in hand asking, "What number is this?" with 685,987,431 showing on the screen followed by, "And what number is this?"... 754,999,012. It was great fun. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective) Lizzie got a hold of them and bit all the rubber numbers off and ate them. Yes, ATE them. I was finding red calculator buttons in her poopy diapers for a week straight! So, I'm thinking we'll re-introduce calculators when the boys have learned a little about place value and numbers (and can answer their own "what number is this?" questions) and once Elizabeth gets past the "bite, chew, and swallow everything" stage. =)
