Count Jackson and Liam the Pianist

Jackson is really getting into counting. He can go up to about 8, and sometimes even 10, by himself. The clarity with which he says the numbers isn't the best, but he's getting there.

This video is a little dark. It was past bedtime but we let him stay up anyway because he was on a roll...he was counting and stacking leggos at the same time with some consistency and focus, which is rare for a boy at this age I think.

In case it's hard to understand, here's a summary:

The first time through, he counts from 1 to 4 and the tower falls over.
Then he restarts 4 to 8, and then knocks it over (the real purpose of the activity, you see).
Then he starts over again, but this time it's from 5 to 7 for some reason.



Here's Liam playing the piano. We have a picture like this one of Jackson at a similar age. Click here to see it.

Here's my little buddy and me.
