The conversation was between his twin sisters. They were reading their word problems for math aloud, "There are seven monkeys in the tree. Four monkeys jumped to the ground, how many monkeys are still in the tree?" Before his sisters had a chance to answer, Caleb very matter-of-factly said, "3". I wasn't there, but I was quickly greeted by a pair of giggly girls telling of his "lightbulb moment". So, I asked if he wanted to do some math work. In under twenty minutes he had completed two weeks of lessons and was beaming with excitement and pride and joy. These are the moments that remind me why we homeschool. :)
