About a month ago I mentioned that Isaac was playing with a ruler, but that instead of using "inches" as his unit of measurement, he was using "bigs."
I don't think he would do something as cute as that now, because he's getting better at figuring out the terms we use for the many different kinds of things we measure. He has made some mistakes along the way, of course. Recently he used the ruler to discover that something measured "six dollars," and he also told me that his friend Gemma's street address was "nine o'clock."
But when he pretends to tell time, he knows to look at the alarm clock and say, "It's eight o'clock." And he knows that distance is measured in "miles." But he still says something is, for instance, "five big inches" rather than "five inches big."
