Yesterday, Tim could count to two. When playing hide-and-seek, "one, two, one, two, one, two...". When counting down for a jump or a slide, "one, two... [jump!]" Etc.
Today, out of the blue, he counted to ten. He was counting the stars on his ceiling: "one, two, dee, doe, die, di, den, ay, nine, ten!" Ironically, there are actually only two glow-in-the-dark stars on his ceiling.
I said "Wow Tim! That's amazing! I'm so proud of you!"
He said "Dat amading!"
Then he sang the Three Blind Mice: "Two blind mice, two blind mice, dee how dey run..."
Which, in the context of his previously displayed numerical brilliance caused me to laugh hysterically, which cause him to laugh hysterically, thereby setting back sleep time by a good 10-15 minutes. Well worth it.
