Making connections

So Will has voted in his 3rd November election. I talked to him Monday night and said that we were going to go vote in the morning. Then this morning we watched 'Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood' on PBS, which was about voting. When we were done filling out the ballot and put it in the box, he stopped me to ask when we could count them. He was disappointed when I told him that someone else was going to do it. I had never talked to him about counting but Daniel did. He is such a smart boy to be making that connection, on his own. Is this normal for his age? I don't know.
