Ben loves to practice counting. His counting has morphed over the past month or so. He used to say, "two... three..." Then he included a few more numbers - "two... three... five... six!" Then it changed yet again, to "Two... five... six!" Then he started adding a "t" to the end of all his numbers - toot, fite, sit. Silly boy :)
Don't get me wrong - he does know the other numbers. He can repeat them perfectly, and sometimes says them on his own. We practice counting to ten regularly, and lately he's even been including the number "memmen" (eleven). He's just not so into counting beyond "sit" on his own.
Until today. Just a few minutes ago, I was upstairs packing the boys' stuff for our weekend in Va (we're leaving tonight at bedtime, hoping that they'll sleep the entire way and transfer to beds fairly easily). Ben was downstairs with Logan and Grandpa and came upstairs to find me. When it was time to come back downstairs, Ben and I held hands, and I asked if he could count. Well lo and behold he counted from 1 to 9 all by himself. He didn't repeat the numbers after me. He didn't need any prompting. I was so proud of my little boy!!
