Jillian continues to amaze me
Jillian was sitting at my desk in the basement looking at coins through my mangifying glass. She was reading a penny, " L - I - B - E - R - T - Y, Liberty!. What does Liberty mean." So, I told her it meant freedom, and what that meant. Then I asked her who's picture was that on the penny. "I don't know," she said. "Well, " I said " it's Abraham Lincoln." Jill, "Oh! He was the 16th president!". So then I asked her who this was on the quarter. Jillian "Roosevelt?" " No, Jillian, but that was a good guess. It's George Washington".
Now, I have to ask you. How many pre-schoolers would know that Lincoln was the 16th President, or ever heard of Roosevelt? I showed her Roosevelt on the dime. Jillian, my sweet girl, you are one smart cookie!

It's a proven fact that looking at coins makes you smarter. Better looking, too.
