When I was One
I had just begun

When I was Two
I was nearly new

When I was Three
I was hardly me

When I was Four
I was not much more

When I was Five
I was just alive.

But now I am Six, I’m as clever as clever.
So I think I’ll be six now forever and ever.

Louis – December 2007
We love all kinds of music – instrumental, singing, musical theater and rhyme!


Nathaniel – Fall 2007
Louis and I both love baseball. We saw our first minor league game on Father’s Day: the Bowie Baysox. The MVP was Jeff Nettles. My favorite fielding positions are Short Stop and Second Base!


Louis solves a pattern block puzzle. Both boys love math – “especially multiplication” says Nathaniel. And estimation. And addition and subtraction. And number problems – number sentences as we call them. And playing math games. The world of numbers is both imaginary and concrete and a regular source of fun.
