Tonight, while going through the nightly ritual with Sophie which typically includes some back scratching, some hair twirling and stroking, a book and a list of math questions, I asked Soph why she liked math so much. True to the style of most seven-year-olds, the response was "'cause".
However, after a moment of silence, she said "I really want to do more multiplication and my goal by Tuesday next week is to finish my 100 questions". Wow. Hearing my daughter explain that she had a goal and a timeline to complete it was both amazing and inspiring.
I love learning and being in awe of my children - they are just such wonders.
