6 much

"I want the much Jelly* has. Is that the much Jelly has?" SS3 asked, as her father poured orange juice into her cup at the Shabbos table.

"It's how much SS gets," said her father.

"I'll count it," she said, running her finger randomly up the side of the cup, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. It's 6 much. Jelly, count yours. Do you have 6 much?"

2 year old Jelly runs her own finger randomly up the side of her cup. "1, 2, 3, 6, 7. Yup, it's 6 much!"

Both children happily drink their orange juice.

*(Jelly = NL2, but as she was answering to "Jelly" for the year she was 2, I left that here.)

And the Magic number is...

37.
Yes, I made it to 37 with a brocha!!! (Okay, so I missed a couple of brochot along the way, but not any actual numbers, so it still counts.) And that means I counted with a brocha in labor (27), and the night after giving birth (28), and for a good week and a half after! Not bad. And then my husband went back to work, I had all the kids plus a newborn, and I promptly forgot a whole day.

Oh, and RenReb missed one in the thirties too, so I might have even gotten past her! Which makes me feel a bit better, although compared to last year's magic number (1, yes, I missed counting completely on the second day of Sefiras HaOmer last year, yes, that made me feel pretty dumb, although I completely blame my husband for failing to remind me.) I think I did a pretty good job!
