Conversation between the Lone Star Girl and the Lone Star Baby a few days ago:
LSG: (holding up 1 finger) Baby, how many is this?
LSB: (exuberantly) One!
LSG: That's right, Baby! How many is this? (holds up 2 fingers)
LSB: (exuberantly) Five!
LSG: It's 2, Baby. Say 2.
LSB: (in a tone of patient pity) Five.
LSG: How many is this? (holds up 3 fingers)
LSB: Six.
LSG: It's 3, Honey. 3.
LSB: Seben. Five.

Thanks for adding me to your blogroll! I'll be glad to reciprocate.
Lucia's counting scheme:
1, 2, fwee, five, ten, 12. Never mind repeated renditions of "This Old Man," or "Ladybug Picnic," it still remains 1, 2, fwee, five, ten, 12. Perhaps children have a cunning counting system a la Fibonacci or binary or whatever they do on Mars.
Hey, that's great! She's getting somewhere!!! lol
I love the way baby's figure it all out. No rush, it all comes in good time.
:)
Thank you for adding me to yours, Eileen Flanagan!
Mars counting. That may be it....they are such cute little martians!
