My brother also loved to count things. This proved particularly useful when she needed to concentrate on wrangling me but didn't want him to get bored and wander off. She would ask him to count how many steps to the next tree or what was 3 steps away. This would keep him happy while my mom re-secured me into the baby backpack or kept me from wandering off a stone ledge.
