Kiwi has a couple of the hard plastic toys that you might give a toddler. Electronic toys where the child pushes the buttons to hear letters or numbers or sounds. She likes the telephone one the best. Thursday night, when I was at the Library my mother, Kay, sent me a recap of a conversation she had with Kiwi.

Kiwi: (sing-song) 1....2....3
Kay: Kiwi, what comes after 3?
Kiwi: FOUR!
Kay: Kiwi, what comes after 4?
Kiwi: WHAT?!
Kay: Five, Kiwi. One, two, three, four, five!
Kiwi: Ok
I don't think Kiwi knows what numbers actually mean, but I am certain she is speaking in context.
