Hello Fractions!

Alex is clearly thinking in fractions lately. Tanner said something about being 7 3/4 years old. Alex quickly corrected him stating he is 7 11/12 years old. (Just wait...I bet he'll move to fractions by /365 very soon as the countdown to their birthday is on!)

At dinner, as he squirmed and complained, he gave blow-by-blow progress in eating his salmon patty by fractions ("I think I've eaten one quarter. Moments later..."If I eat this bite and this bite it will be one third" And so on throughout the painful process).

So my numbers boy has found a fresh look at his world through fractions. Cute.
