Poor Number Five

Counting Games

I decided today that since Thomas is having a hard time remembering the number five we would count to five – add day. So we spent the day counting things in fives.

·         The five water jugs on the floor

·         Five blocks as we stacked them, and then five blocks again ( he has a set of ten)

·         We counted out five balls from our toy box

·         Five bowling pins and then five more again

·         We counted the pins we knocked down, and we counted the pins as we sat them back up

·         Five Gerber dots to go along with our pizza for lunch

Pretty much anything that we came across during the day he counted to five. This morning it kept going from four to six, but by this evening he remembers to count five. We’ll have to see how it turns out tomorrow. Hopefully we have fixed the poor number five dilemma.
