3750 Baby can count!

Thursday, July 11, 2013

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than
it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
--George Bernard Shaw--

The Nugget can count to 11!  She's now 2 years and 2.5 months old.

If there are several items, she can count them for me, accurately up to eleven.  After that it gets inventive.  I asked her to count 16 peanuts for me the other day:
one
two
three
four
five
six
seven
eight
nine
ten
eleven
nine
ten
eleven
nine
ten...
TEN peanuts!

Of course I clapped and cheered.

She's very different from her mother.  Daughter would have counted to eleven, given me a quizzical look, pushed the eleven aside, counted the remainder, and said there were eleven here and five there.  Nugget is very literal and very sure of herself.
