Our Favorite Counting Activity: Kisses!

By Justine C. Tajonera

I discovered a wonderful way to practice counting with Badger. We count kisses. When he asks me for something like a toy or "mamam" (nursing), I ask him to say "please" first and I ask for x number of kisses.

We do a countdown until the last kiss. I hold up my fingers and he says the number. It's a great way for us to bond and a lovely way to watch him practice his counting skills.

It's amazing how much progress he's made over the months. I really treasure every moment I get a sloppy kiss from Badger. He's growing up so fast.
