I love math!

I never thought those words would come out of my mouth. 

My son is doing Saxon Math 87 and I love math! We actually began with Saxon 2 and have been doing it steadily since second grade. 

I feel like I am learning math all over again. 

This time I am good at it!

Math and me ran into problems around the 4th grade. Knowing your multiplication tables back then was a big thing. I didn't know mine. I didn't really care if I knew mine. Someone apparently tipped my parents off that I didn't know mine (thank you very much teacher!). My mother made me practice them so much I went from being worst at them to #1. 

Sadly that was my last moment of math glory. 

After 4th grade it continued to go downhill. I often wonder why my parents never got me a tutor (they could have afforded to hire me a private math teacher full time!). Anyways, no one wants to hear me rant about what my parents did not do 30 years later. 

I am just so happy that my child is having this amazing math experience and I am part of it!!! I could not be prouder!
