One, two, three, eleven...

Magda is starting to have fun with counting. Numbers don't hold quite the interest as letters, but she does enjoy repeating numbers from one to twenty when we recite them to her. Sometimes she counts for herself, skipping around non-sequentially when she gets past "three". She is currently fascinated with saying "eleven", probably because it's got three syllables and is easy to say.

She can actually count up to three things -- if laid out in front of her. But whenever you ask her "how many X are there", she invariably -- and without hesitation -- proclaims "two!" This feat amazes strangers, whenever we actually point to two things and ask her how many there are. She's a bit of a Clever Hans that way. Jfer managed to teach her to answer "one!" when she's asked how old she is, so that's something that she'll have to re-learn in a few months.
