18

Eric has been working on writing his number words through 20. He has number cards that he can reference if needed. He usually needs to look at 8/18. Today he was counting and writing the number words. He went to write the word 18, and paused and looked at it for a minute or two. Then he said "Hey, this says eight-een, not "eight-teen". He knows that the teen words end with teen, so he was surprised that 18 only had 1 "t" in it instead of 2. Just a fun little observation he had that I wanted to share with you.
