Jenni's Candy Heart Tally Graph

 Jenni counting to 100 using her hundreds chart.

Eric and I love listening to her count to one hundred. She counts ten numbers without a problem and then the next ten numbers she seems completely out of breath and then she's back to counting ten more numbers without a problem. Oh Jenni.

Jenni enjoys using the linking cubes every once in a while to work on patterns. The linking cubes are still a bit of a trick to snap together with her little hands but she is improving.
