21

Last night, as I was tucking Olivia into bed for the night and snuggling with her, she rolled over to face me and said, "Mom, I have 21 fingers and toes! I just counted them."

Me, "um, are you sure you did that right--let's recount."

Her, "Yup! 21! I counted again!"

Me, thinking to myself, "Well, crap, Kindergarten "end of year testing" starts pretty soon and we may be in BIG trouble here."

Outloud, "honey, lets try one more time!"

Olivia, apparently THINKING to HERSELF, than aloud, "OH!!! There are only 20--see 5 on each hand and 5 on each foot, that makes 20!!! I guess I MISSED ONE the first time!"

Me "giggle, giggle"

Off to search for that one lost toe amongst the blankets...
