counting to Ten

I was working on math with the kids so I had Katie count my fingers while the others were working on worksheets

she counted fingers one hand at a time
1...2...3..4...5
1...2..3...4...5

Trying to get her to count to ten I asked her to count them both together so she used both her hands and pointed at both my pinkies and started counting them together until she had counted the fingers on both hands at the same time.

I told her this time count them one by one....so she started at one finger and successively pointed at my fingers one at a time saying one by one by one by one until she had got to the last finger...One day she will count my ten fingers like I was expecting but I think I enjoyed this a little more...for now.
