Alexander is definitely not shy. Every parent who comes in while we are trying to leave gets asked, "Who's mom/dad are you?" and if he already knows this information he tells them where they can find their child.

They seem to be cutting down quite a few trees in the neighborhood. Some are sick, others are being removed to make it feel less dark.

Dinner = math fun. !st Alexander wanted 12 tomato pieces and he wanted the tomatoes cut into thirds, so four tomatoes. Then he asked for peas and counted them by twos. Then he asked for 10 tomato pieces but wanted halves. So a lot of fractions.
