Funny Friday: Toddler Rules for Counting

How a toddler counts to 30:

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, FIVEteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, TWENTY-TEN.

I don’t have a video recording of it but hopefully I’ll get it before he learns the correct way to count – it’s tough getting a child to do a repeat performance when the camera appears…
