Arithmetic

This morning I told Will that the Badgers had won last night. He showed more enthusiasm than usual, getting out an upbeat "Good!" in the same vein as I say "Good!" when he has a dry diaper in the morning.

"The Badgers have won five games in a row now."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but before that they lost six games in a row."

"But what about before that?"

"Before that they won three in a row."

Will put his spoon down and furrowed his brow. "That would mean they've won ... eight games?"

Yes! Hoping it would have been more at this point, but that's another subject!
We really haven't done much work on addition or math, formally at least, so it's interesting to see him picking this up. Next week I'll have Will figuring out the Badgers' strength of schedule or Ratings Percentage Index ranking.
