Natalie has recently started showing interest in numbers and counting, so our days are filled with counting to ten and helping her learn the numbers in the right order. She is catching on really fast and knows which numbers come after which (although never recites them in order all at once).
I took Natalie to the library the other day and there was a mom and her older daughter (maybe 3 years old) in the childrens section too. The little girl was playing with an abacus and asked what it was for. The mom explained that it was for counting, then demonstrated by moving some beads around and asking "what is one plus eight?" My genius 19 month old was across the room and yelled "NINE!" Of course, she only said that because she heard someone say the word eight, but the look on the other mom's face was just priceless!
Watch out, Einstein!
