I said, "How many is twenty?"

She held up her hands, fingers spread out, looked at them, and said, "Two tens."

Wow!

It's the first multiplication she's done since the triplets theory. As Far As I Know, that is.

Excellent! - I spent a part of last Saturday lunchtime talking to her on what the locker room numbers were (while Rob was busy changing Emer); and she wanted me to read out all of the numbers for her.

68 of them?

[gmh.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, yes.

She would point at them and go 'What's that?' and I would say the number for her.

(And yes, there were sixtysomething lockers ;)
