DD has had a similar experience. One time when she was really little (I'm guessing 2) we were waiting in the car. For some reason I wondered if she could add and subtract. She rattled of all of her math facts up to about 15 without a thought or mistake. I assumed that kids just knew these things... and then last year we had to spend a lot of time remembering, or rather memorizing. My DD is not a mathy kid and I wouldn't say that she's a whiz with patterns either.... . It's funny that kids can do somethings naturally and then have to 'learn' it later on. I don't know what that's all about! I think that what everyone has said so far makes good sense.
