Life with a Two Year Old- Learning to count

It all started with the big, upcoming birthday.

"How old is Sera?"

"Two"

Yaay.

"How old is Mommy?"

"Two"

Double yaay.

Numbers larger than two prove more difficult.

"How many spoons do you have, Sera?"

"One, Two,  Three"

"Excellent.  One for Mommy, one for Daddy, one for Sera!"

But the number of spoons multiplied.

"One, two, three, four, five, six."

"Okay."

Any amount more than two was four, five, six.  Counting became a chant, a sing-song cadence chanted all over the house.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, ten"  sings Sera.

"What happened to seven and eight?" asks Daddy.

"They coming soon!"
