Yesterday: Juma asked if he can go outside to play. I said, "Sure, but sweep under the table first." Then I gave him my "I'm just teasing" smile. He responded with a smile that showed he knew I was teasing. He then went to the broom closet, pulled out the broom and dust pan, and started sweeping. And he actually did it right. That is, a pile of garbage and dust bunnies actually made it into the garbage can, rather than just getting pushed around.
Today: He sat on the toilet, counting. He counted all the way to 100, while a little help from me for the tens (fifty, sixty, etc). He then said, "I'm done. That's all the counting." I explained how he can go further. He got to 110. "That's it. That's all the counting," he said. I told him it's possible to count forever.
"Forever? Forever?"
"Yes, forever."
"Like all day? Like all day and all night?"
