Ishaan is very fascinated with and interested in anything to do with numbers. You can practically get him to do anything if you represent it in the form of numbers. Here are the different incidents that shows his love for numbers !
He loves Maths - addition, subtraction, greater than/less than. He was doing 1-2 digit addition/subtraction without regrouping and just yesterday, I showed him how to do 2-digit addition with regrouping and he immediately picked it up. He enjoyed it and asked for more and more. Kavya also helps him practice using Uno cards. She has started teaching him multiplication (tables) too.
Whenever he is home, he keeps on checking the digital clock on our microwave/stove top every few mins and keeps on calculating how many minutes is it till/past his bed time or school time.
He loves the Fitbit dongle that Gaurav uses. Every evening he asks Gaurav if he can see how many steps it shows. Then he requests if he can walk or go up/down the stairs with it. He holds it in his hands and runs with it, periodically checking the numbers.
Few nights ago, he kept on coming up with one or the other request instead of sleeping. After a while, he was still awake and asked me to tickle him. I told him that if he laid down quietly for 5 mins, I will do it. My hope was that in those quiet 5 mins, he will fall asleep. Instead, after few mins, he woke up and told me "Mommy, I counted till 300, now can you tickle me ?" :)
He also loves to count his money. Every few days, he will count how much money he has in his piggy bank and then give it to Gaurav to deposit in his bank account.
So, as you can see, he loves numbers and money - Just like his daddy :)
I tell him that he should plan to be a CPA or Financial planner when he grows up.
