Felix loves numbers and counting. This morning we did some serious counting on the way to school.
Felix: ...seventy-eight, seventy-nine--what number comes after that one?
Keir: Eighty.
Felix: Eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three, eighty-four, eighty-five, eighty-six, eighty-seven, eighty-eight, eighty-nine--what number comes after that one?
Keir: Ninety.
Felix: Ninety-one, ninety-two, ninety-three, ninety-four, ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine--what number comes after that one?
Keir: One hundred.
Felix: Eleventy-one, eleventy-two, eleventy-three, eleventy-four....
His teacher, Miss Carol, told me that yesterday she put him to sleep at naptime by counting to two hundred. Later, she asked him what comes before two hundred and he said "One hundred!" She believes he will be a physicist. She also wants him to learn Chinese.

It's Felix's fourth day in big-boy underwear, or what we sometimes encouragingly call, "Oscar underwear." This morning Felix wanted to wear a pair of his "Oscar pants" (swishy, nylon shell track pants).
Felix: You look just like Oscar.
