First, Second, and Third

Yesterday, instead of doing all of the winterize-the-house-things I was supposed to do, the girls and I went to the playground to take advantage of yet another unseasonably warm day. On the way there, Lolo was working on the concept of first, second, and third (we've actually been working on this for many weeks now). We'd see a school bus or a car or a flag. Lolo would say "I saw it first; Mama saw it second; Norah saw it third." I actually thought she understood the concept.
Later, before bedtime, we were reading "Clifford's First Halloween." Lolo said "It's my first halloween. Mama's second halloween. Norah's third halloween." Uh huh. I think we have some more work to do.
