Ro is learning to count. He’s mastered everything to thirty, but is struggling with forty, fifty, sixty and so on.
Today he ported his “making up your own lyrics” game to the counting game in the car.

We counted in his new number system all the way to day care. True baby logic! Loved his creativity.
He went on to define rules like: “Now we need to whisper, daddy!” – Shhht!
Fun!
