Counting Cows

I put Geneveive in her crib this morning so I could take a shower. Here is the conversation I heard over the monitor:

"Count the cows! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, six, seven, TEN!!!! YEAH G-vieve!!!!" Seems she misses counting the cows in Georgia and tries to make up for it by pretending to do it.

She is capable of counting to ten accurately, but not consistently. You've got about a 50-50 shot of her repeating the number seven a few times. Maybe it is more fun to say, since she likes to give it extra emphasis ("suh-VUHN!"). She also says her name a lot now, but mostly to repeat conversations that's she's heard. She spent her lunch hour repeating, "How big G-vieve? SOOOO BIG!"

At least we know she's listening. If only I could get her to obey.
