"One ty one"

In the car on the way home last night Ryan told me that "8 and 8 was eighty-eight."  And "9&9 was ninety-nine."  So of course I asked him about 77, 66, 56, etc.  His newfound knowledge even applied to 45, 41, 43, 47, etc.  I was super proud of him.  The only time he was stumped was with 4&0.  And of course 1&1 which he prounounced "one ty one."  :)

Of course Connor didn't want to be left out of the high praise either.  After a while he picked up on the concept and was doing just as well as Ryan at naming the various number combinations.

Way to go boys!
