Paige has been learning to count over the last couple of months. She nailed the whole 1-10 thing a while ago but she still hasn't quite learned that numbers correspond with things. I got excited the other day because we had a small break-thru whilst counting some plastic cups she likes to play with. Paige very patiently pointed at each one, assigned it one (and only one) number, and stopped upon reaching the last cup. We did this together for about 10 minutes, but when I went to film she was only willing to do it once, and even then it was a half-effort. Regardless, I kept the film rolling and captured three minutes of Paige being Paige - this is a very good example of her sense of play, which seems like a good thing to record for posterity. So all you grandmas out there: enjoy four minutes of cuteness. Everyone else, when you get bored after 30 seconds I found this great site you can go to: it's called 'youtube.'

Counting to 10 + 3.5 minutes of other stuff
The following video is four minutes long, which means those of you
with a 21st century attention span probably won't make it through
the whole thing. No worries. If you can't sit still through four
minutes of my incredibly cute daughter being incredibly cute it just
means you're modern; in no way does it imply that you're an awful human
being. This is really for Paige, who loves watching videos of herself. Ecclesiastes tells us that 'all is vanity,' so I figure why fight it?

"No, Daddy, counting is not fun. We did that enough already. Time to add a little variety to this routine."
