Yesterday while Adam was playing he discovered that he has two of the same lego animals. When he realized it he got all excited and said, “Look Mama! More ella! One, two…..two ella!”

He’s been big on grouping like items lately and counting them. After the ellas we moved on to his trains. He lined them up and told me there were five choo choos (he was right).

He is getting better at counting and can count to ten almost perfectly. I say “almost” because in Adam’s version, the counting goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 8, 9, 10. I think that’s close enough for a two-year-old though.

Another thing he likes to do is name his lego people. He has three. The cowgirl is Amanda, the zoo keeper is Mommy, and he’s decided the clown is Papa.

I can see the resemblance.
