In the car driving home recently, Luke started counting. He likes numbers. He does great through about 29 then he starts saying random numbers in a very random order. Drives. Fletcher. Nuts.
Luke: (counting) 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 53, 65, 34,
Fletcher: Luke, why don't you count all the way to 100 by 10s.
Luke: 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10....I have to say a lot of dem because 100 is a long way away.
Fletcher: (exasperated) Luke! I mean why don't you try counting BY tens.
Luke: (I am not making this up) By 10, by 10, by 10, by 10, by 10, by 10
I had forgotten how very literal 4 year olds are. Fletcher tried to teach him how to do it, but it wasn't clicking yet. I kinda like Luke's way better anyway at this point.
