My Child & I

Firstborn's Maths skills are improving but his way of relating numbers to something familiar is what's more interesting (and frankly some times distressing too).

Here's a sample:

Skip counting by two's : "...20, 22, 24... hey, that's my birthday!"

Addition: "5 + 25 = 30 ... hey that's how old Appa was when I was born!!!"

Subtraction: 12 people in a party, 2 left early - "Was it a birthday party?"

Is it just me; Or do you also sense his fascination for Maths, er... birthdays/ages.
