Yesterday i found myself doing a familiar excercise - once back from work, wondering what dinner to fix, I opened the pantry door and browsed for possibilities. The little girl was right by my side and she started counting the jars. Only, it wasn't the usual one-two-three-four-five..

She said un-duos-thres-qatro-cinc-sis!

From browsing the pantry, I turned around and looked at her in amazement (where did she learn that from?). She, on the other hand, miss cool cat, finished counting, turned around and moved on to other games!  

One.Two....Ten

My little baby is barely 18 months old. And other than singing the "I love you" barney song and "tinkle tinkle ittle saar", there are more skills in her arsenal. (Alert: Parental boasting coming up).

When I say "One", her reply is-
Too
Thheee
Four
Sees
Even
Aiii (eight)
Nine

Between nine and ten, she usually picks one and includes only one.

Now before I get those "such pushy parents" kind of looks, in my defense- I've never tried to have her parrot the counting to me. We do count 1 to 10 especially up and down the stairs- but this is all her.

And that doesn't mean I am not super proud of her!
