Jacob On the Spot

Jacob can count by threes by singing the School House Rock song about the number three. He is also very interested in addition and can add two or three single-digit numbers. My brother, Ben, said, "Hey, Jake - what's 9 minus 3?" Jacob kind of froze and you could tell he didn't know the answer. Someone else said, "Jake, what's nine take away 3?" He then shoved a huge piece of chicken in his mouth (we were eating lunch) and said, "Can't talk now. My mouth's full."
