Daughter of a Geometry Teacher


I was so proud of Alexis today when she bit off the top vertex of a triangular cracker and pointed out that it was now a TRAPEZOID! Holy cow! I was so excited. I mean, seriously, who thinks of that? Maybe Alex will carry on the family tradition, and like her Grandma and Mommy, become a math teacher. One can only hope!

P.S. For those mathematically challenged folk, a trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has one set of parallel sides (see a & b below).

I'm so mad you put up a picture of a trapezoid! I love the picture of you and Alex! She is like you in lots of ways already, I.E. Diva, picky eater, super stylish! She's got it all!

Sometimes...I am embarrassed to say i know you!

HA HA totally kidding, I wish I could have seen your face! Wow Alex what a smarty! Well, guess what my kid did today? he managed to get off all his clothes (by himself) take off his diaper, and throw it up in the air over and over again. and then proceeded to run around the house naked screaming "hurray".......I'm so proud!
