Haiku Friday: Counting

A surprise talent:
Mira can count to fourteen
Where did she learn that?

Although she is hard to
understand, the numbers are
clearly there for her

My only guess is
she is watching TV more
closely than I thought

Mira has apparently known how to count for awhile, but didn’t feel the need to share it with us. But when walking down the stairs the other day, she counted each step, going all the way to 14 without prompting. We were stunned – who taught her to count? I’ve done a little bit of counting with her in the past, but nothing more than 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. And then I hear aaaaii (8), niiiii (9), ehn! (10), eeeveeen (11).

She must have had pity on her poor dumb mother, enduring my elementary lesson while already mastering the intermediate levels. I can only guess that she’s paying close attention to Sesame Street and Noggin each day.

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your main blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, please let me know.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! I will delete any links without haiku!
