We have been working on counting 1-5 with Ray and much to my surprise last night he counted to 6!
Yesterday, at story time we did this cute counting finger play that I had never heard before (Sorry I can't give credit to the original author). It goes like this:
This is the bee hive, but where are the bees?
Hidden inside where nobody sees.
Soon they'll come buzzing out of the hive,
1-2-3-4-5! Buzzzzz!
Here are the actions (Pictures courtesy of Sam):

Soon they'll come buzzing out of the hive, (flutter fingers around like flying bees)
1-2-3-4-5! Buzzzzz! (count to 5 with fingers)
