Counting

Tonight was my turn to read Relia to sleep. One of the books I read was 'One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish'. One of the pages features a guy with eleven fingers (seven on one hand, four on the other). I asked her how many fingers she had and she answered 'eleven'.
So I asked her to count them. She touched her right forefinger to the left one and counted, "one, two, three, four, five, six, eleven".
I was excited that she counted so far so I asked her to count to six again.
She said, "one, six".

Close enough for me!

Dahlia is SUPER into that book these days. She always wants to read it to us (& does remarkably well reciting the different pages). She loves counting that guy's fingers!
