Ellis is Really my Child After All

I bought some of those foam numbers squares (to put under Rowan's chair when he eats - hah - like that didn't work). The numbers are Rowan's favourite new food and Ellis's favourite new game.

Ellis has been holding up all the numbers and saying

"what number does this make?"

"How many more years until I'm this number?"

"When were you this number?"

I distinctly recall doing this when I was small -

"When I'm 4, Tracey will be 9 and mom and dad will be 29."

etc etc.

Doesn't everyone do this in their mind all day long?
