What's your favorite number...

We were reading stories together this evening, and one of the books was a counting book. One of the last pages had all the numbers listed with a corresponding number of objects (like 6 bananas). So the page said to pick your favorite number and count the objects. This is how the conversation went with Tess:

Jaime: What's your favorite number Tess?
Tess: Dancing!
Me: That's not a number. Do you have a favorite number?
Tess: Yes.
Jaime: What's your favorite number?
Tess: Charlie and Lola!
Me: Nope. That's not a number either.
Jaime: Do you like the number 1?
Tess: Yes.
Jaime: Do you like the number 2?
Tess: No.
Jaime: Number 3?
Tess: N'es

.....That's another of her contractions. It either means maybe or I don't know. No + Yes = N'es

So, Jaime goes through all the numbers (well just 1-10--not ALL of them), and most of them Tess says she likes.

Jaime: So what's your favorite number?
Tess: Teddy bears!

And speaking of hating the number 2...Jaime decided it was high time to potty train Tess, and it's been going really well, as seen by this picture Jaime put up on Facebook:



Yesterday I called Jaime from work to see how it was going. She said Tess had already had a number of accidents and didn't seem bothered by them. In fact, Tess would wet herself (or worse), find Jaime, start dancing (because it's her favorite number) and sing: "I'm not learning! I'm not learning!"

The "I'm not learning" dance sounds very familiar. Kids are super fun. ;) (It's funnier when its someone else's kid I guess...) Tess is super cute though. :)
