All Ears

Luke likes to count things. When I say count things, I mean he likes to point to a variety of objects and say the numbers in order, but often the number of objects and the number Luke reaches do not coincide. Likewise, Luke enjoys pointing out and naming facial features. Eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, etc. The other day he was commenting on the fact that Daddy has ears. Daddy had the brilliant idea of asking Luke how many ears Daddy has. When Luke was finished counting, Daddy had no less than six ears! Just this morning, Daddy was proclaimed to have six eyebrows. Luke can count higher than six, but apparently more than six of any one facial feature would be unseemly. Quite right, Luke.
