Oh yeah! Adding

Ahem.

SkyWalker can add.

Okay, the two numbers have to be 5 or less, but still. If you write 3 + 4 on the board (or say them) he will hold up one hand with 3 fingers and the other with 4 fingers and then count them to make 7. That's pretty damn cool. He has no use for subtraction yet, can't be bothered with it and he doesn't get that he can also do 8 + 2 with his hands, but still, he's 3 1/2.

In case there is any doubt

that my son is in fact a genius:

The big happy face is the Daddy happy face. The smaller one is SkyWalker (note the perspective--he's looking at the Daddy) and the smallest is the princess. He made it for her so it's hanging in her room right now.

And then today he did this:

Might be hard to see... but that is a happy face sun. That is hanging on our refrigerator.

And just for fun here is a picture of the two of them playing together:

One slipper belongs to him and one to her.

The Princess has done nothing but nurse and sleep today. She didn't have a fever but she was just SO tired. Maybe she got it from me. Maybe it's contagious. Because I could totally fall asleep right now.

Why am I so soft in the middle when the rest of my life is so hard?

Yes, I'm saying it.

My son is very advanced for his age. 

I'm laughing with you, really I am, but dude, he's THREE and he can spell THREE words, one of which is a 4-letter word. 

And he is doing this home with me and not in daycare. 

Thank you very much.
