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.
