FIVE-TY SIX.....just read it

Last week, Parker and I sat down to read a book. It was a Nascar race car book. The first page had a car with the number 83 on it and Parker pointed out that it was 8...3. I said yes, that is eighty-three. He repeated eighty-three. The next page had a car with 84 and he said 8....4. I said yes, that is eighty-four. He turned the page and there were four cars. On his own he started pointing at them and sayin their numbers, eighty-three....eighty-four...sixty-four....AND five-ty six. Yes FIVE-TY SIX instead of fifty six!! It was so cute and so amazing that he made the connection.
