95 Cars

Today, while driving Lilja to her pre-school, I had to stop to let a train go by (not that I had much choice in the matter). To pass the time (7 minutes), we counted the graffiti-covered cars one-by-one until we hit the last one, 95 cars later!

It was fun to count with Lilja, as she got really excited by this opportunity to count with papa-loppa (as she calls me)... by the 50's she got really good counting the numbers in order "... 51 52 53 ...". The only problem she had was in the transition from one block of ten to the next (as would be expected). What I liked was that she would simply repeat a recently stated number while waiting for me to correct her... so she would say "67 68 69 68" and then switch to "71 72 73". :-)

The other funny thing was that she doesn't seem to like the number six because that was the most frequently dropped number "13 14 15 17 18".

She's a lot of fun!
