Counting 1 - 2 - 3

This evening I was reading Count with Bear to Jocelyn. As the title implies, there are bits and parts where she can count berries, honey jars, letters, etc. Dominic loved this book when he was smaller and Joss also likes it quite a bit.

Joss has been learning to count at school and can often count to ten without any assistance. Tonight was not one of those nights.

We started with the butterflies and she went, "One, four, five!" So I gently corrected her and we counted to three together. On the next page, it was pretty much the same story with the berries.

The honey jars went down the same way, "One, four, five, six!"

Since she had made the same omission three times in a row, I asked, "Joss, what happened to two and three?"

"They fell down!"
