Floaties and Sinkers

In our home, we have always praised our kids when they were potty training.  "Great job!  That was a big one!"  Or "You worked hard for that one."  We also taught them the basics about going potty - the normal things every parent teaches.  Riley used what we had taught her today and turned it into a math lesson.

My parents took Riley to their home and she went to the bathroom.  She then called my mom over and said:

"Grandma, I have five floaties and three sinkers.  That makes eight all together!"

We're so proud that she was able to add them together and use math skills to count floaties and sinkers.
