Math


Today Julie took Lyla out to lunch with her mom and sister Jodie. Lyla got her own meal off the menu for the first time. It was a grilled cheese sandwich with grapes and cantaloupe. She is 15 months old today.

Lyla ate half the sandwich, a good amount of the grapes, and none of the cantaloupe because cantaloupe is nasty.

When the bill came, Lyla helped calculate the tip. "You just move the decimal over and multiply by two," she told her mother, who majored in math.

I wish I would've been there, but I stayed home to do our taxes. Unless I figured things wrong, we're actually getting a refund this year. I guess that's what happens when you take unpaid parenting leaves, pay for daycare, and, well, have a kid in general. Maybe we'll take the windfall and spend it all on grilled cheese sandwiches and grapes.
