Counting . . .

My kids are outside burning post-dinner energy on the trampoline.  They're playing a game we made up called "mummy, mummy, come alive."  At least, I think we made it up.  At any rate, it calls for counting to five.  

Middle is counting in french.

Mimi is counting in, er, um .  . what would this be?

UNO --- DOS --- TRES --- CARTOW -- SALSA -- CHIMICHANGA

Middle is 9 . . .

Big is 11
Little is 7
Mimi is 3

Just for the record . . . Middle can count to ten in 5 languages . . . not that it's a red letter accomplishment or anything . . . counting is ONE of the mechanisms that I taught her to get through strength at gymnastics. When the going gets tough, she counts. When it gets REALLY tough, she counts in a foreign language.
