An Elephant and Grover Cleveland

Yesterday Luke was so excited to tell me there was a "Grover Cleveland candy bar". Thinking he was joking I asked him what it was called. "Baby Ruth, it's named after his daughter Ruth". I immediately googled it, yup he was right. He and Grammy read it in a book...the fine print in our President rhyming book. Then just to test his memory I asked him what number President Cleveland was... "22" he replied fast as lightning. Again, I had to double check. He was right, again. He also knew that he was president twice (with Benjamin Harrison between terms) and that the Statue of Liberty was completed while he was on office. This child continues to amaze me!

He wanted to try a Baby Ruth and I told him we could pick one up after swim lessons if he reminded me (assuming he would forget). But my little elephant remembered and we got a sweet treat today. Win-win!

The Grover Cleveland Baby Ruth candy bar and Dolly Madison ice cream were big hits. You provide so many fun learning experiences for the boys.
