...And the countdown begins

Finn can count to ten. He counts a lot, sometimes just for fun, but in the last few days has been counting letters, toes, etc. very deliberately. He gets to 5 each times and sometimes stops, but sometimes goes on to 9 or 10!

We didn't really do anything to facilitate this (other than watching sesame street and a few counting books), but count the stairs as we went up and down them. Amazingly, he just sort of figured it out. He's so amazing, and so interesting and such a neat little experience in human development. I love watching him learn and grow on his own. I think we all underrate kids, they're so much more than we give them credit for!
