Derin started counting properly today. (30 December 2013)
Until now he has been saying numbers to himself or repeating after us, but this evening we were at Rich & Ali’s and Sheb was sticking magnets to the fridge and he was counting them “one, two, three” etc as she put them on. Then when she started him off in Turkish he carried on counting in Turkish.
In English he could count all the way to ten. In Turkish he could get to 8 (“sekiz”) but couldn’t remember 9 (“dokuz”), so he skips that and goes straight to 10 (“on”).
