un, deux, trois

For some reason, yesterday Parker decided he wanted to learn to count in French. (I didn't tell him that he had already learned that when he was 2.) So I went through 1-10 and then when he got bored with that, started doing 11-20. Luckily, most of the numbers after 20 are pretty easy so he picked them up super fast. He was really intrigued with 60, 70, 80 and 100 for some reason. He laughed hysterically at 60 and then thought 70 and 90 were super cool because they were addition.* So after we talked about that for a while I asked him what 170 was. He got it right. Then this morning, he was still talking French numbers with michael so we he asked him what 190 was and after needing a little help to remember 100, he got it right.

*for those of you who don't speak french, 70 can be directly translated as sixty-ten, and 90 is four-twenty-ten. Which is pretty nutty, actually. -ml
