Jackson learns to count

Amy December 15th, 2009

You know the old story of how the second child has to fend for themselves while the first child was coddled, right.

Well, we have one of those.  With Camden we read to him every night (still do) and went over the animal sounds and the numbers and the letters.  But, with Jackson, I have been a bit lax.  It is not entirely my fault, so my guilt level is not as high as it could be, since until recently he refused to sit still and listen to a book without trying to eat it or tear out the pages.  But…

So here is a little story of how he is learning to count.

Last night I was dropping the boys off at GiGi’s for Mike and mine weekly bowling night.  Well, Camden was not feeling well and hadn’t had a nap and was just generally rather cranky.  He was not going to do anything I asked and on more than one occassion I had to employ the “ONE, TWO… you don’t want me to get to THREE” tactic.  After about the fourth time, I had do this, this is what happened.

Me:  Camden!  One…

Jackson:  Two (said sweetly from the other room)

Mom and me started laughing and Camden got off for whatever he was doing.  Well, all I have to say is Jackson is learning to count!
