Count Your Blessings

When I count mine, Liz and Steph are up there at the top of the list - two lovely daughters of whom I am very proud. Prof Heinz Wolf once bemoaned the state of English education, and said "We have forgotten to raise children who are articulate, literate, numerate and manipulate" [not sure if that is an adjective, but I get his meaning, he certainly didn't mean manipulative!]

Well my two have all those qualities - and watching Sesame Street with them was certainly a good part of their education. Liz recently sent me this link - I like the Count, and she likes bats!

Keep Counting!
