Matt Is Starting to Grasp Math

When counting, for example, six fingers, he would sometimes do it this way:
"One, two, three. One, two, three. Six!"

---

Or when he is bargaining to sleep some more because it's still too early.
Matt: "Mama, ten minutes pa."
Mama: "No, Matt, five minutes lang."
Matt: "Tapos isa pang five minutes, para ten minutes." :)

This Monday morning, we tried out the addition flash cards with him.
The card says 2+1.
"One, Two," holding out 2 fingers in his right hand.
"One," holding out 1 finger in his left hand.
Then counting all fingers that are held out, he goes, "One, Two, Three!"

He went on perfectly with 3+1, 1+1, 5+1 and 4+1.
Then the 6+1 card was flashed.

Matt went on doing what he did with the first 5 cards.
"One, Two, Three, Four, Five," holding out 5 fingers in his right hand, then
"Six," putting down the 5 fingers, then holding out just 1 finger in his right hand.
"One," holding out 1 finger in his left hand.
Then counting all fingers that are held out, he goes, "One, Two."

He stopped and asked, "Bakit ganun, two na lang?" :P
