Eleventeen

We are busy counting these days - math homework is in full force. Kyle and I drove ourselves crazy teaching Benjamin to count to fifty by tens this weekend, and now we are working on counting backwards from 10 and counting to 30. Benjamin is really working very hard at it and he does great only he gets easily frustrated and gives up quickly if he barely hesitates. Ella on the other hand cracks me up - she NEVER loses confidence. She just counts away and never misses a beat no matter how wrong she is... "fifteen, sixteen, eleventeen, twenty"; No Ella seveteen, eighteen - and she gives you this look like you are the one who doesn't know what they are talking about almost like a teenagers "ok whatever" look, then on she goes "twenty-eight, twenty-nine, twenty-thirty"
