Anyway, at dinner last night we were talking with the kids about our spring break coming up and if they wanted to go to Estes Park or Mount Rushmore for it. Instantly BB got so excited and yelled "Mount Rushmore, I've been learning about it in school!!!" He then went on to tell us EVERYTHING about Mt. Rushmore that he remembered: the presidents who are on it, the mans name who carved it, where it is, when it was built, how long it took, and so many other random facts about it. Guy and I just sat there with our mouths wide open and then I got out my phone and googled all his facts because let's be real, I honestly did not know. Well all true my friends, even down to the exact name of the person who sculpted it. We were in awe! Maybe he has a photographic memory or something because even when I was in school, there's no way I could remember all of that at his age.
Another thing about mr. smarty pants right now is he is doing so well in math at school. His teacher sent him home a harder math book for homework and he informed me that last week his teacher had him explain how to do something in math to the class and then he walked around and helped the other kids figure it out. I don't know why this is so funny to me, maybe because I was soo awful at math in school. Well who am I kidding, I still am awful at math but luckily my life only requires addition and subtraction. I guess I should just be glad I have a kid who gets it so I don't have to try to explain it :)
**UPDATE** To add that BB's favorite Mt. Rushmore fact is that when they had finished it, everyone thought that Thomas Jefferson was George Washington's wife. He thinks that is hilarious.
