Counting

One oft-displayed tongue
Two blue eyes
Three devoted babysitting households
Four limbs
Five digits per appendage
Six AM…
Seven days a week with mommy
Eight hours of sleep achieved
Nine months of memories


There are tons of books about teaching children to count. But that is nothing compared to the amount of things that moms need to count. You're counting hours of sleep (if you're lucky), naps in a day, diapers subjected to vile torture, ounces of formula, and that's only the quick list. It goes beyond counting ten fingers and ten toes when you leave the hospital.
