Aviva knows that her birthday is in January and she likes to tell people. Anytime she's asked how old she is, she says she's three and her birthday is in January.
But how many fingers? Five. How old is she? Five. This is how old she is, and her birthday is in January. Granted it is difficult to show three fingers. but she's not getting the correspondence with her fingers and how old she is.
When there's two of something, she shows her two index fingers next to each other to show "two." And she can show "one." Three is tricky, so we've started working on it.
I showed her how my thumb can hold down my pinky, and what's left is three fingers. That takes a lot of coordination and concentration, and she could sometimes do it but not always. THere was a moment yesterday when she got it, and she showed me three fingers the right way! She said, "Look! They're my birthday fingers!"
