Counting Backwards!

Nathan and I went to VA to visit my side of our family this past week.  Coming home, he and I were both ready to be here so I started telling him how much time we have left.  I started this at the 1 hour mark and then went down by 15 minute increments until 15min was left.  Then I also said 10, and 5.  When I told him we had 5 minutes left, he replied, “5, 4, 3, 2, 1, doggies!”  I have to give Lee credit for this one.  I haven’t taught him to count backwards but apparently Lee has counted this way with him a few times and it sunk in.  It’s quite amazing how much he takes in during his rowdy and rambunctious playing.  I don’t even think he hears us half the time but I guess he’s actually still soaking it in.  And how cute that he was excitedly looking forward to seeing our dogs.
