We have had the cold running through my house for over a week and it just seems to linger. There are six of us so when one gets it the others will too. UGH! Momto4--counting on fingers is OK. Like Tracy said, it may just be a comfort thing. However, I sometimes need to look at my hands to figure out a number and that's just a visualization technique for me. Some are visual learners and others are not, the focus is on effort either way. Get better soon. I agree on the cold issues.

Get better soon.

Living where we do does not mean we are trapped indoors but we still get the cold, dampness that makes going outside yucky.... (as my kids tell me) Grats to your daughter for stepping it up a notch and moving forward.... Don't worry to much about the counting on fingers, it is probably a comfort thing more than anything else and she will outgrow it. I have found, especially with my oldest son, the more I harp on an issue the harder that he moves the other direction to "control" it himself.... Frustrating at times but we adapt and let him be and usually he works it out for himself. Sorry your family had the stomach thing, we are now deep into some kind of cold from camping and it is bringing a damper on everyone around here!
