China Update #2

Isaiah has just had his 7th birthday. He is not currently interested in a lot of different things.

He'd like a helicopter that he can fly - we have one, he'd like a remote control car - we have one, he'd like a remote control boat - we have one.

There's a few other things he'd like but only once he's seen them, which means he wants it cos he has seen it. I don't like those kinds of spur-on-the-moment items, they get over them too fast and don't play with them, OR they break.

He was blessed to receive a LOT of money! Some cheeky Aunty gave him all different notes! So we did a lesson on using different notes ;)

Later on today we will head to the bank and bank it, bringing his total savings up past the $200 mark at (I think) $230!!!!!

We worked on his numbers, building a thousand block cube, showing how much he had, transferring $$ into blocks ($20 note = 2x10 rods) and carrying blocks to the next place value. Until we had our final number.

A quarter way through his first 1000 cube block :) and he's happy!

I won't be updating regularly on this btw ;) but wanted to acknowledge this huge blessing to him!

Oh yeah, he's also receiving $$ by paying for things and pocketing the change! Cheeky ah!
