One, two, three, almost five, FIVE!!!

Reed has been working on counting and does pretty well to 10+ with a little assistance now and then. He is still unsure of himself, so he prefers for someone else to count with him if he knows anyone is listening, but several times, I have heard him counting to himself in the last few weeks and it goes something like this..."One, two, free, almost five, FIVE!!!, six, seben, ade, almost ten, TEN!!! I guess four and nine are tough to remember... but he knows something goes there. Apparently I say we are "almost" to something a lot. Almost home, almost there, almost bedtime, almost bathtime, almost finished... That is his new favorite word and FIVE (you have to yell it with gusto!) is his favorite number. Our Reed is 2 1/2 going on FIVEE!!!
