This evening as the boys and I were eating dinner with my mom, the boys were trying to find gloves to play outside in the snow. My mom was looking for gloves and Tobyn and Tanner were finishing their dinner. This was the conversation that followed:
Grandma "I have enough gloves for 4 hands"
Tobyn looking slightly confused with hands and fingers outstretched "I have 10"
Grandma "Those are fingers"
Tobyn staring at his hands "oh!"
Tanner (while sitting next to Tobyn) after counting his fingers "I have 10 finger too!"
Grandma "How many toes do you have?"
Tobyn "Probably the same..."
Tanner looking very defiant and sure says "No!" then proceeds to count his toes "1, 2, 3,....10! Hey I DO have 10 toes!" and then looks at Tobyn like he has just discovered the greatest thing.
I swear I have taught my children they have 10 toes and fingers but apparently it is something you have to learn on your own!
