Dad asked Nigel if he wanted to do counting by fives or by twos tonight for math (which they spend 5-10 minutes doing after storytime these days). Nigel said he wanted to count by twos all the way to one hundred. Counting to one hundred is a feat Nigel has been proud to demonstrate lately, asking to do so for both Mom and Dad recently.
Dad counted with him through the twenties, then let Nigel do the rest all by himself, which he did with only minimal prompting. Quite the feat!

Heading down the slope toward State Street while going to school this morning, Nigel asked Dad, "Are we gaining energy going down this hill? Is the car going faster?"

2013-09-03: Un-correct
A quote from Nigel today: "Dad, you're doing a pretty goodo job of being un-correct."
2013-09-03: Sunrise
With the sun rising later in the morning, the family is often getting up before sunrise. Dad called Nigel to look out at this morning's beautiful sunrise, and Nigel's comment on it was, "Hunh. Blue and orange at the same time. I've never seen anything like it. Never seen anything like it."

2013-09: Reading Test
Nigel tested into his school's level "K" in reading. Their levels begin with "AA", generally for pre-Kindergarten kids, and go through the alphabet to "Z". "K" is a 2nd grade level. One other child in the class that is around Nigel's age also tested at that level.
