Ecosystem

So Colin learned a new word today..."ecosystem." Don't ask me where he learned it from. I think he may have picked it up from pbskids.org. He just kept saying "what about the bad air?" "what about the good air?" "the trees make good air." When I asked him if he knew what an ecosystem was all he said was, "we have to protect the animals and the plants." I think that is a pretty good answer for a four year old! I can't believe how smart Colin is. He is a reading monster. He reads everything and sounds out the words he doesn't already know. Yesterday he read "Emergency Exit Only. Alarm will sound." This was on the door at the bank. Bedtime stories usually involve either Colin reading the whole story to me, or taking turns reading the pages. He doesn't start school until 2009, so I don't know what I am going to do to keep up with him, or rather keep him going! I guess it is time to start working on some math skills...heaven knows he needs all the head start he can get coming from two parents who struggled with math!
