Counting Made Easy

Can anything be more fun than observing a toddler's development. I once read it on baby center that a toddler's brain is like a sponge. Absorbs as much as it could. It is really exciting to see my lil one come up with ideas as a outcome of various things he hear, look and feel.

Last evening he was scribbling (bite me !!! Actually painting) with his pen and brush and started drawing circles. He came to me and said "Mommy … I drew London eye" !!! Gr8 ! Good observation I encouraged (we took him to London eye last weekend)

Then he drew zig zag lines vertically and said " Mommy this is steps" and started walking on the drawing sheet .. hahhaha …"Funny" , I said.

Understanding he is at his best mood I said 'Let me teach you to write 'A' and said, 'Down to up and up to down …and then a line in the middle'. He liked the rhyme and dint get the writing well. I dint push and said "ok , keep trying!"

Then he wrote number '1' and yelled "I wrote 1". That's great and asked him to write number '2'. After thinking for a less than a second he wrote another 1 and said '1 1 Mommy ..it's 2' CHEATTTTTTTT … couldn't control my laugh. When I told this to my fren she said
'Probably he is learning Roman first'
You never know what is in that teeny tiny brain. Don't you??
