Just had been sick for about a week. Actually it started with lice, which led to the Hair Whisperer (true) and on the tail end of that a stomach bug. jeez.

He loves Monopoly and what I noticed in the games we have played in the last few days is how quickly his math skills are progressing. Three days ago he didn’t understand that if I buy a property for $280, I can just put $300 in the bank and take $20 back. Now he is doing exactly that without even thinking about it.

I was never much of a monopoly player and he has beaten me three times in a row, but I wanted to say thanks to Hasbro for being there when we are home sick and needed some well deserved math lessons.
