LOL, this seems to be the way that both my kids have grasped the concept of addition and subtraction in a way that speaks to them.
When Nathan was four he accidentally broke an egg and announced that he had 3 eggs, but broke 1 and now has 2.
Just yesterday Danielle collected the eggs with me. We had 3 and I asked her what would happen if I broke 1, how many would be left to which she replied 2. Then a few seconds later she said and if I broke 1 more there would only be 1 left.

I love it! "Egg fractions" will be something to look forward to . . . ! Maybe you can hard-boil the eggs first. : )
