about a boy

dunno when he started doing this, probably a month ago.

he started with

"one, two, three, four, two, three, seven, ten!!!!"

but now, he goes

"okay, let's count."
"one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!"

ten always gets an exclamation mark and a lilt.

and he can recognize the numbers (thanks to Thomas & friends... "thomas is number one, gordon is number 4, percy is number 6, toby is number 7" <-- i only know 4 of them, he knows them ALL.

i'm full of pride. he really counts - frogs, little people in books, cars and airplanes, trains, clouds, fish, apples.

teaching him lower case letters now. dang, must "b" look so much like "d" and "p" so much like "q"?

oh, he's learning to spell now. favorite word? "p-i-e, pie"

we don't eat pie (that much)
