Backyard Chicks

The sun finally came out and it was time for the chicks to get out of their cage and run around.  I brought them to the back yard in a box and then let Ellie open the box.  She didn’t get very far as one of the chicks jumped up and popped out of the box.  Cooper just watched and wanted to share the soccer ball with them.  Ellie wanted to be their leader and tried to get them to follow her around. She even talked to them in chicken speak.

Chicks Funny

Cooper was excited about the chicks and wanted to see them.  I think this was due to Ellie wanting to see them as he is scared of most animals.  Cooper thought it was funny watching the chicks jump out of their cage and then run around.  He said “Chicks Funny”.  (This really should have been Daddy funny, as he was laughing as I was chasing them around.)

Counting

When Ellie helps Cooper count she will say the even numbers and he will be able to say the odd numbers until 13.  Then he will skip to 19. Coopers current counting: one, two, three, four, six, seven, nine, ten, eleven, eggs?
