counting.

we have several counting and numbers books of course and cole can say most of his numbers, although he often does not get the right order.  

this morning i was sitting on the floor and we were talking about the babies and we have been trying to tell him that there are going to be 2 babies.  whenever we talk about babies, he likes to lift up my shirt to see my belly and says "baby!" while patting my belly.  this morning i asked him how many babies are in mommy's tummy? and he replied, 5, 6, 9! 

i laughed and laughed and thanked god that we only have 2 babies and were not going to become the next jon and kate plus 8.  

cole has done very well with counting in spanish too.  

brenner really wants cole to be bilingual and so he interjects spanish words throughout the day.  

i am sure cole will be bilingual any day now.  

but he does like to count in spanish, as long as we count with him.  we start with uno and then go back and forth.   so basically cole only says the even numbers to ten.  

once again, i am sure his spanish skip counting skills are going to come in handy one of these days.  

here is a video of cole counting in spanish with brenner.
