15

As we have written, a concept Joe is still mastering is the recognition of numbers past 10. We are told he can count in sequence up to 20, and indeed, we have heard him to do so, but it is also true that sometimes, 15 does not exist. We haven't yet acquired a big wall calendar, but Julie remembered that Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever has the numbers 1 through 20 on the inside back cover and so, tonight, Joe said hello to 1 through 10, and, met 11, 12, 13, 14, and--15. After this, Joe said he had to show Julie something. What he wanted to show her, was the school page which--wait for it--has a wall calendar on it--!!!!! Just like his room at school, and which Joe also knew had numbers past 10 on it--!!!!! Pretty cool, huh, Fans?!
