Jakub is becoming a little brainy boy - maybe a bit of a nerd. He started reading real words in both english and polish - Polish is much easier to read (not as many silly rules, it's very phonetic), so it's much easier for him to read longer words in Polish (even though Alex would dispute this). He also loves to add on a number line and add with his fingers, and even subtract. He likes to talk about big numbers like "I love you a million, no wait, three hundred million. He also loves puzzles like solitair and Rush Hour and loves to play tic-tac-toe with Alex. But recently, we decided to introduce him to Sudoku. Here is his first Sudoku Puzzle ever! Of course we had to do it with him, but he got the idea right away! I was so proud of him!

If he could just as easily learn to wipe his bum, peel eggs, tie his shoes, then I would be in heaven. Unfortunately he is a reluctant learner when it comes to basic and actually important-in-life things like that!
