Well, it's Konner's turn. Konner is almost 6. (April 8th). He is in Kindergarten and LOVES it. This boy makes me nervous sometimes though. He is SO smart and bright. He knows too much to be only a 6 year old. He loves math, and reading, and Pokemon. The Pokemon thing is something new and has converted Derek into a Pokemon dork too. They even have "battles" together. It's cute. Konner is a great big brother and a big help to mom and dad. Love You Konner J!!
Konner loves to read almost any kind of book. His favorite books are Dr. Seuss books. Every time we go to Costco we have to look and see if there are any new Dr. Seuss books that he doesn't have. Believe me, he knows which ones he does and doesn't have. Smarty pants...
Konner is a future mathematician. One morning about a month ago, (you do the math) the boys and I brought a book to class for Kenley. Konner walked to the whiteboard and wrote 5 x 7 +2=37. When he was asked why he did this, he responded, "My birthday is in five weeks and two days. I know there are seven days in a week, so five times seven is thirty-five, plus two is thirty-seven." Kenley then asked Konner (in front of his AP Calculus BC students) what 1,000 x 1,000 was. Konner quickly said, "one million", to which Kenley asked Konner what one million times one million was and Konner said, "one trillion". Needless to say those AP Calculus BC kids were impressed.
